Atrial tachyarrhythmias are the most frequent arrhythmias occurring in ICU patients, being particularly common in patients with cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Unlike ambulatory patients in whom atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is likely to be short lived, in the critically ill these arrhythmias are unlikely to resolve until the underlying disease process has improved. Urgent cardioversion is indicated for hemodynamic instability. Treatment in hemodynamically stable patients includes correction of treatable precipitating factors, control of the ventricular response rate, conversion to sinus rhythm, and prophylaxis against thromboembolic events in those patients who remain in AF. Diltiazem is the preferred agent for rate control, while procainamide and amiodarone are generally considered to be the antiarrhythmic agents of choice.

The impact of government size on economic growth in Algeria: a threshold analysis
This paper aims to examine the growth-government spending nexus for Algeria. Our empirical investigation follows the endogenous growth literature by using GDP growth rate as dependent variable and government expenditure as a share of GDP as the main explanatory variable. We then perform the Hansen’s (2317) regression kink model with an unknown threshold to estimate the optimal government size during the period 1973-2020. The obtained results confirm the validity of the Armey curve hypothesis in the case of Algeria, and suggest an estimated government size that maximizes economic growth around 30.4 percent of GDP. Accordingly, since Algeria has attained its optimal level of government size, it seems to be more important for authorities to improve the efficiency of government expenditure.

November 12, 1751 – January 16, 1800
Though unable to officially join the Army until after World War II, women have played a key role in every war the United States has fought. Starting with the Revolutionary War, women served the Army both on and off the battlefield, caring for Soldiers and helping wherever they could. Women faced the same harsh camp conditions as Soldiers, but still persevered through these hardships to provide invaluable service to the Continental Army. One of these individuals, Margaret Corbin, not only followed her husband to war, but even took his place in battle defending Fort Washington from a British and Hessian attack in November, 1776. Corbin’s story not only illustrates her tenacity, it also shows the sacrifices many women endured to aid the American cause.
Margaret Cochran was born on Nov. 12, 1751, to immigrant parents in western Pennsylvania. They lived on the edge of the American frontier, exposing them to many dangers from Native tribes and limited access to medicine and food. By the time Cochran turned 5, her parents deemed the frontier too dangerous for their children and sent them to live with their uncle. Unfortunately, her parents were correct about the dangers of living on the frontier. Just a few months later, Native Americans attacked her parents, killing her father and capturing her mother. Cochran never saw her mother again and lived with her uncle until she married John Corbin, a Virginian farmer looking for a better life on the frontier, in 1772.
The Corbins lived on a small Pennsylvania farm for three years until John enlisted in the 1st Pennsylvania Artillery in 1775 to fight against the British in the Revolutionary War. With John joining the Army, Margaret was put in a difficult position. Without family to rely on while John was gone, she would have to provide for and protect herself. On the other hand, Instead, Margaret chose to join John and the Army as a camp follower, like thousands of women before her. As a camp follower, Corbin traveled with the Continental Army, staying in their camps and performing a variety of tasks such as sewing, cooking, laundry, and caring for injured Soldiers. Though not official members of the Army, these women received rations and a small wage if they operated their own business. They did not receive any special treatment and faced the same harsh conditions of camp life as Soldiers. They also received a bad reputation as some viewed them as sex workers and not assets to the Army. General George Washington did not view camp followers favorably, but allowed them because he understood the vital role they played in keeping the Army running. Even his wife, Martha Washington, joined her husband on campaign several times during the war.
Corbin continued with the Army for more than a year, performing many of the standard roles of a camp follower. In addition, she helped on the battlefield. During battle, some women provided food and water to Soldiers or carried ammunition and powder to artillery troops, but they rarely took part in the fighting. However, at the Battle of Fort Washington in November 1776, Corbin was a rare exception. Fort Washington was one of the last major fortifications held by the Continental Army near New York City. The Army sent John’s artillery regiment to protect the fort from an impending British and Hessian attack. On Nov. 16, 1776, the British attacked Fort Washington and both Margaret and John leapt into action.
John served as a matross for his artillery gun, loading the cannon. The patriot forces had cannons placed along the ramparts of the fort, but the British proved to be formidable opponents. The British bombarded Fort Washington’s defenses before they launched their assault. Margaret brought water to John at the cannons for cleaning and cooling off the guns. Upon returning with a pail of water, British cannon fire struck and killed her husband. She immediately ran to the cannon to fill John’s role on the crew. With her help, the cannon continued to fire, but British cannon fire hit Corbin three times, causing severe wounds to her left arm, chest, and jaw.
The British quickly overran Fort Washington, capturing the remaining Patriot forces. Despite suffering life-threatening injuries, British doctors saved Corbin’s life. After receiving treatment, the British army returned Corbin and several prisoners to the Continental Army who sent her and a number of other women and injured Soldiers to recover in a Philadelphia hospital. She ultimately lost the use of her left arm, impeding her ability to dress and perform everyday tasks. On July 6, 1779, in recognition of her bravery at Fort Washington, Congress awarded Corbin the first pension received by a woman in American history. As a widow with no other family, the Army sent her to West Point, New York which was home to the Invalid Regiment. This regiment was made up of severely injured troops who could no longer provide service in the field. She stayed at West Point for the rest of her life, trying to manage the daily pain and struggles she faced from her injuries. She died in 1800 and was buried near West Point. Though she only served the Army for a short time, her story illuminates the sacrifices and hardships faced by camp followers during the Revolutionary War.

A high number of adults in the United States with migraine who take acute oral prescription migraine medications report unmet treatment needs, including rapid headache onsets and moderate to severe disability, according to study results published in Headache. The study also found that as the number of unmet needs increased, symptom severity and the number of coexisting conditions also rose.
The study was a cross-sectional analysis of a sample of adults in the United States with migraine who participated in the Migraine in America Symptoms and Treatment Study in 2017. In the online survey, participants self-reported a history of ≥3 monthly headache days in the 3 months prior to enrollment and ≥1 monthly headache day in the previous 30 days. Only participants who reported current use of orally administered acute prescription headache medication were included in the analysis (n=3930; mean age, 45.0 years).
During the survey, respondents reported inadequate treatment response (ie, inadequate 2-hour pain freedom and recurrence within 24 hours of initial relief), demanding attack characteristics (rapid onset of attack and headache associated with sleep), and unique patient characteristics (ie, opioid or barbiturate overuse and cardiovascular comorbidity) as the 3 main areas of unmet treatment needs.
In addition to identifying unmet treatment needs in these patients, the researchers also examined coexisting conditions and symptoms (ie, level of treatment optimization, psychological symptoms, attack-related cutaneous allodynia, and migraine symptom severity).
The majority of respondents to the survey reported ≥1 unmet treatment need (95.8%). Demanding attack characteristics, inadequate treatment response, and unique patient characteristics were reported in 89.5%, 74.1%, and 16.1% of participants, respectively.
The most frequently reported unmet needs included rapid headache onset (65.3%), moderate to severe disability (55.6%), inadequate 2-hour pain freedom (48.1%), and 24-hour headache recurrence (38.0%). Increasing unmet treatment needs correlated with worsening psychological symptoms as well as worsening attack-related cutaneous allodynia and severity of migraine symptoms.
Limitations of the study included the cross-sectional nature of the analysis, the survey’s self-reported outcome measures, and the lack of patient stratification by chronic migraine and episodic migraine.
The researchers wrote that identifying and “understanding unmet treatment needs with orally administered acute medications can be a useful framework for designing clinical trials, developing new treatments, optimizing treatment plans, and improving acute treatment outcomes for people with migraine.”

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have continued to gain interest in the aerospace, wind, construction, and recreational industries. The ability to customize the properties of composites to fit a specific application, as well as their high strength-to-weight ratio make the material incredibly versatile and advantageous. In many cases, it is necessary to bond one composite component to another, or to a dissimilar material, such as metal or plastic. However, adhesive bonding of composite materials presents many challenges. Foremost, adhesives are generally weak when loaded in tension applications, thus rivets are used to strengthen the bond, however this greatly reduces the integrity of the composite, which is more prone to fatigue and wear. Secondly, shear strength is not well understood for gaps larger than 3 mm, which presents issues as wind turbine blades can have gaps as large as 12 mm. Understanding the mechanics of adhesive versus cohesive failure for adhesives is crucial to develop better models and manufacture stronger composite structures.Understanding adhesive failure and developing methods for stronger bonds without the use of rivets or mechanical fasteners will greatly advance the composite field, and enable more efficient, stronger, lighter structures. The present work provides alternate bonding methods to adhesives, methods for strengthening composite bonds, and void characterization and crack propagation of a single lap joint studied in 3D using an in-situ load frame inside of an x-ray computed tomography machine. A novel model for determining the cohesive-adhesive transition of methyl-methacrylate adhesives is also presented, which can aid in developing stronger bonds.

The blueprint, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (HR 1314) would cover spending for Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017. The deal is aimed at undoing automatic spending cuts which are a byproduct of a 2011 budget and debt agreement, and the failure of Washington to unravel the government’s fiscal gridlock.
The next step in the process may be even more difficult. Although HR 1314 sets the broad spending levels, it will be up to the congressional appropriators, and the House-Senate conference committees, to apportion specific agency funding levels. Staff at the 11 appropriations committees has already started working on an omnibus spending bill to keep the government funded past Dec. 11, when a continuing resolution expires. The omnibus bill is necessary because lawmakers were unable to agree on how to move forward of any of the dozen regular spending measures.
The deal lifts the overall caps by $50 billion in FY 2016 (which began on Oct. 1) and by $30 billion in FY 2017. In both years, the increase will be equally divided between defense and non-defense discretionary spending.
Without a budget deal, sequestration would have taken full effect for the first time in FY 2016, cutting non-defense discretionary funding by $37 billion below the already tight funding caps that the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA) imposed. The deal would effectively restore $33 billion of this $37 billion in 2016 and $23 billion of the $37 billion slated for 2017.
This increase will be paid for by a mixture of policies, including changes to farm subsidies, selling oil from our strategic petroleum reserve, and extending the across-the-board cuts on mandatory programs (primarily Medicare provider payments) further into the future.
The deal is similar to a pact that Paul Ryan (R-WI) fashioned two years ago with Sen. Patty Murray (D-, D-WA) to ease automatic spending cuts for the 2014-15 budget years. Ryan is now House Speaker.
Advocates have applauded the measure, with caution. Spending on education, children and youth programs would remain well below the funding levels in FY 2010 before the sequestration caps were imposed. So while this budget deal is a helpful first step, it represents only a partial restoration of resources that were lost to several years of federal budget retrenchment and stalemate; it does not represent significant new investment, advocates said.
More funding is needed to fix the remaining gaps in the safety net, address the damaging effects of low-wage work, help low-skilled youth and adults move up to better jobs, and support a two-generational approach so both parents and children can escape poverty, advocates said. After years of neglect, many key programs struggle to meet the needs of today’s families. For example, the Child Care and Development Block Grant is reaching the smallest number of children in 15 years.
In addition, some key priorities must be addressed through other means, such as the extension of improvements to the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit that are scheduled to expire in 2017.
This week’s budget agreement is being billed by some as “Murray-Ryan 2.0” for its combination of relaxed BCA caps and an assortment of offsets. Keeping the lights on for New Year’s will be among new Speaker Ryan’s first challenges on the job, and his strategy may provide some insight into his approach to the speakership

Development of Bioelectric Field Imaging Instrumentation
Small Business Information
RPN ENTERPRISES, INC.
7337 SHIRLAND AVENUE, NORFOLK, VA, 23505
AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For over a century we have known that human skin drives ionic current out of wounded regions. DuBois- Reymond (1848) used one of the earliest galvanometers to measure 1 microampere leaving wounds in his skin. This has been confirmed using modern techniques and we now know that this current is driven out of the wound by the transepithelial potential generated across the epidermis. As this wound current traverses the epidermis it generates a local electric field that points towards the wound from all directions around it. It is this signaling capability of the electric field that is most intriguing, yet no one has ever measured these electric fields in wounds. Electric fields can signal that a wound has occurred by exerting a force on charged molecules by electrophoresis or by influencing local skin cell movement by galvanotaxis. The movement of human skin cells can be strongly influenced by electric fields. Previous investigations found that human skin cells actively migrate towards the negative pole in fields of 10-400 mV/mm. It is very exciting that the field strengths we have recently measured in wounds during our Phase I SBIR research are identical to this. We successfully applied a new instrument called the Bioelectric Field Imager (BFI) to non-invasively measure this wound field in both mouse and human skin. We found that a field of 200 mV/mm is present immediately following wounding and persists until wound healing is complete. Moreover, this novel technique is noninvasive and allows these measurements to be made with minimal disturbance to the skin wound. During Phase II we will refine the design of the BFI to allow the measurement of skin wound fields on most surfaces of the human body. This will include eventually making the device much smaller and lighter so that it can be hand-held, and making it faster so that an image can be generated with only two seconds of data collection. We will accomplish this rapid signal acquisition by using a multi-sensor array in conjunction with simultaneous data acquisition from each sensor. These improvements will allow us to place the BFI on any body region much like a stethoscope and rapidly collect an image of the electric field in the skin beneath it. Once we have made these refinements to the BFI, we will evaluate its utility for the non-invasive quantification of the rate of wound healing as well as the diagnosis of wounds with abnormal electric fields. This will have many important applications to improving human health including the design of new electrical therapies for stimulating the healing of chronic wounds and possibly the early detection and diagnosis of skin diseases.

Among the present-day hotties famous for dancing to special numbers that the mass audience and film industry fondly calls ‘item numbers’, there is one very popular lady and she is none other than Moroccan siren Nora Fatehi. From Baahubali to Temper, she raised mercury in Tollywood and later stunned Bollywood with her crazy dance movies and enticing glamour as well.
Amidst talks that she will be doing an item number for Allu Arjun’s Pushpa as well, her new song has come up as she danced to a special track for the film, John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayathe 2.
In the song that goes by the lyric Kusu Kusu, Nora could be seen shaking her curvaceous body in typical belly dance moves. While the song garnered instant attention and nearly 40 million views in two days, the majority of the watchers aren’t satisfied by the lady’s routine dance acts.
Whether the blame should be kept on the makers, or the song or the choreography is not know, but actually Nora Fatehi isn’t as appealing as she would be earlier. Looks like by repeatedly doing similar item numbers, maybe she is losing all her glory. Though she also proved her mettle as an actress, currently Bollywood is offering her only these types of roles mostly.

Common tell-tale symptoms include:
- Burning sensation
- Watery eyes
- Sensitivity to bright light
- Feeling of sand or grit in the eyes
- Transient blurring of vision
What causes dry eyes?
Harsh environmental factors and pollutants such as haze and smoke often irritate our eyes and cause discomfort. The low humidity in air-conditioned rooms and aircraft cabins are other common causes of dry eyes.
The rate of tear production as well as the "effectiveness" of tears decreases as we grow age. Dry eyes are more common in post-menopausal females.
Some contact lens materials absorb more moisture from the eyes. As a result, some contact lens wearers may complain of dry eyes.
Blinking at regular intervals is essential to recoating the surface of the eye with a film of tears. Prolonged staring at computer terminals and TV screens and reading decreases the frequency of blinking and sets the stage for dry eye.
Medications such as antihistamines (for allergies and runny noses), decongestants (for sinusitis), anti-acne pills and certain blood pressure medications are often associated with dry eyes as a side effect.


The Fundamentals of Safety And Security Services
When it involves safeguarding your network from outdoors assaults, you will locate that you have 2 key choices. You can either make use of one of the numerous cryptographic protection services available or you can establish your very own customized solution. The benefit with a cryptography solution is that you will be able to check what is taking place in actual time, and also if an assault happens you can quit it. For most of us nevertheless, the stress over security surpasses what we can see with our nude eye. Many of us contend some factor or one more had our computer system systems attacked by infections, hackers, and even spyware applications. This leaves us with a few alternatives for safeguarding our systems. One of the initial is to depend on strong as well as extensively made use of industrial software application. There are excellent and also negative aspects of this approach. While some programs have been designed with protection as a high priority, there is an increasing trend in the direction of making use of open resource software. This is not to claim that the industrial solutions are substandard in any way, yet there is a globe of difference when it involves the degree of safety and security that is offered. In addition to being available in the form of totally free variations, open resource software packages have been created to fulfill particular criteria that belong to security services. To start with, they are readily available under a permissive permit, which implies that they are accredited to be utilized and run in the way that they are developed. This flexibility allows the individual to include additional security features if they wish, consisting of features as well as access control. Additionally, the safety and security services supplied will certainly permit multiple levels of gain access to which can consist of different authorization keys, gain access to control passwords, and also a lot more. In order to have a safe and secure network, you require to consider a variety of factors when it concerns the general style of your system. Among these variables is the concern of vulnerability. While the purpose of numerous computer system systems is to stop unapproved gain access to, a single aspect that may enable an unapproved person to get to a computer system is a weakness in the security services that are in location. The assaults that can be executed versus network protection consist of remote control, crucial logging gadgets, attacks via email, strikes that make use of port scanning, and others. When these strikes are occurring, it ends up being easier for an unsanctioned event to gain access to the information that is saved on the computer. Network protection services as well as their linked technologies operate in conjunction with each other. At a really fundamental level, encryption and also authentication is done using a one-way hash function. The procedure that is made use of to perform this operation is called TCP/IP and belongs of the Web itself. A further layer of file encryption called SSL is also made use of and also is readily available from many internet provider. SSL protection is more given via use electronic certifications as well as digital signatures, which are likewise used in network safety. When you take into consideration how the various aspects of the safety solution to interact with each other, you will quickly know that making use of only one sort of authentication can make securing your network a lot easier. There are times when it is necessary to use both kinds of verification and also utilizing non-repudiation as a choice throughout the authentication process can be an advantage. The reason is since you can make sure that just you have accessibility to the information, as opposed to permitting any individual else into the exact same system. Using electronic signature technology as well as non-repudiation as component of your security services is often viewed as being able to reduce the danger that an unauthorized person will certainly get to the info that you are shielding. It is as a result something that is being taken seriously by the bulk of services that are attempting to keep their clients’ data protect.

A new survey from a breast cancer patient advocacy group found that more than 80% of Black patients would consider participating in a clinical trial—but that enough information is not relayed by medical professionals.
That point and more were detailed in new findings released by the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance during the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) annual meeting. This is being addressed by a new initiative, coined BECOME (Black Experience of Clinical Trials and Opportunities for Meaning Engagement) led by patient advocate Stephanie Walker and building off research presented by the late epidemiologist Marina Kaplan in 2019.
The stagnant problem Walker set out to further illuminate is well-documented—Black men and women make up 15% of cancer patients but only around 4-6% of cancer trial participants. To produce deeper research, the team deliberately sought a large share of Black respondents to the survey. Among 424 study participants with metastatic breast cancer, nearly a quarter were Black, almost three times the share of Kaplan’s survey three years ago.
The results paint a clear picture of a failed information cascade where patients are left out of the loop. The vast majority of Black responses—92% to be exact—expressed interest in learning more about trials, but only 54% were aware of metastatic breast cancer trials that were ongoing.
In a virtual interview with the research team, one Black respondent felt clinical trials were offered more often to white people.
“I’ve never even been given ANY info about [trials] and didn’t really know they were even an option,” they said. Forty percent of Black survey participants said no one on their care team discussed clinical trials.
The study also outlines how Black patients were more likely to place importance on lived experience from the person communicating trial information than non-Black respondents. For example, 67% of Black patients said it was important that the source of information was the same race or ethnicity, compared to 10% of their non-Black counterparts. It was also more important to Black patients that the source of information had been diagnosed with breast cancer or participated in a clinical trial.
The value of representation was also reflected by Black respondents’ motivations, with 83% saying they were moved to participate to ensure that people of similar backgrounds could benefit from the research.
“Trust has to be rebuilt,” said one respondent, citing the controversial Tuskeegee experiment. “Seeing people of color participating in clinical trials will help bridge this gap to get much-needed data.”

A Guide for personal story preachers
Posted by Xavier Thelakkatt on 11/28/2000
This is indeed a very valuable book for a student of story preaching. Thulin classifies personal story preaching into four different types, though that classification could be called a bit arbitrary. Out of the four types, the one called 'self portrayal' is the type that would be most effective. The reasons he gives are well thought-out and the examples are excellent. This would be a basic guidebook for those who intend to experiment with personal stories in preaching. The check list and the table at the end are particulaly helpful.
If the book provided a good bibliography for the material dealt, it would have been a help for those who wanted to explore further on the subject.

Soup, beautiful soup. When it’s cold I like a big bowl of steamy hot soup. So does my mom whom I regularly cook a meal for. In the search for new things to try, I purchased a packet of Vietnamese sour soup. No idea where but possibly the Asian grocery store on Stefko Blvd. in Bethlehem. The packet was in my cupboard for a while and the other day I pulled it out, read the recipe, the ingredients and decided to give it a chance. This was slightly risky as there was no mention of gluten free status regardless of the ingredients. Celiacs like me have to be so careful; just a touch of cross contamination from shared processing equipment and I feel terrible. So I try harder these days not to buy things anymore that don’t say gf. Case in point: I got sick 2 weeks ago from some Korean red pepper flakes I used to make homemade kimchi. I had to give the entire batch away. Everyone said it was delicious. I tasted it and agreed but that taste was enough to ruin my day due to probably cross contamination.
Anyway…I have to say this Vietnamese soup was fantastic. I sautéed briefly some onion; one small one cut vertically into long threads, some diagonally slice celery and carrots; one carrot and one big stalk of celery plus some of the greens. In about three minutes I added the packet and water per the directions and after that got hot I added the baby bok choy cut into 1 inch lengths including the green parts and a handful of snap peas, which I cut in half after trimming the ends. After 10 minutes I added a handful of small shrimp which I shelled first, maybe 18-20 shrimps and about a quarter cup of bamboo shoots. Cooked it five more minutes and Bamm I had me a pot of zingy delightful soup. A major ingredient in this soup base is tamarind juice. I have bought and used tamarind paste, sure adds the tangy sour that is a delight. Honestly I burnt my mouth the first two times I ate this soup; do darn good I ate it a bit too hot for comfort. Try to let yours cool a few minutes….if you can! The spicing is not too hot, just refreshing and infuses the vegetables with it’s zing. Not weird or off flavored if you were worried about trying a packet from a very different food culture than that of most Americans; just light and delightful. If you are not a fan of shrimp sub in your favorite protein. I am sure most anything even tofu will work.
This picture is from pinterest. I was too hungry to take a picture. Sorry; next time I promise to stop and shoot before I slurp! This soup snap is sort of similar although I didn’t have the thai basil leaves that they put on top nor did I use big pale green pepper slices or tomatoes. Well, I Thought it was kinda similar… I just ordered my seeds and did choose some thai basil so I can be even more authentic this summer when I make this soup again. It sure is a keeper. Maybe I will try to make it from scratch in the coming weeks. I will let you know how that experiment goes.
Vietnamese Sour Shrimp Soup:
1 packet Vietnamese sour soup
1 tbsp. mild olive oil
1 medium onion
1 large stalk celery
1 large carrot
1 large baby bok choy or one stalk of regular bok choy
1/2 cup snap peas
1/3 lb (about 20) medium or small shrimp
1/4 cup bamboo shoots
Directions: Saute the veggies (onion, carrot and celery) in oil; 1 1/2 quart sauce pan. Add water according to the packet and the packet. Let get hot, add the bok choy and snap peas. After ten minutes add the peeled shrimps and bamboo shoots. Cook five more minutes. Can put long diagonal slices of scallion on top.

When looking at meringue cookies there can be a few ways in which the recipe can be adjusted. For example, we can work on making vegan meringue cookies with a slight adjustment to the recipe. Given that egg whites are the key ingredient in meringue cookies, a vegan substitution must be found for them. Specifically, we’re looking for something that works the same way as eggs when it comes to whipping them. We’re looking for a substitute that when whited at high speeds with the sugar inclusion will change its protein shape (denature), trapping the air and creating a stable foam.
Fortunately, Aquafaba works great and very similarly to egg whites! Aquafaba is a liquid commonly inside chickpea cans and other types of beans and can work as a vegan substitute. The reason why Aquafaba works is because it contains the proteins albumin and globulin, water-soluble proteins which are found in egg whites. It also contains saponins which is a molecule that works very similarly to soap and when whipped produces a foam which is an air-in-water emulsion. When whipped with sugar the mixture becomes extremely similar to that of merengue.
According to Nik Sharma on Serious Eats, the best way to create vegan meringue cookies is by using Aquafaba from chickpea cans which have been cooked with kombu. This is because it has carrageenan which is a carbohydrate which creates a gel and works as a great emulsifier in items such as evaporated milk. Adding cream of tartar as an acid to this mixture would lower the pH of the meringue which would aid increating a more stable foam as it assists in the modification of the protein structure. It also reduce maillard browning and caramelization. Click here for the recipes of both the non-vegan and vegan merengue cookies. (9)

Emotional Effects of Anger
Anger is a powerful emotion that can positively and negatively affect our lives. When we're angry, we feel energized and motivated to take action. This can be a good thing if our anger is directed at something or someone that deserves it. Unfortunately, the people who are most likely to make us mad are the people we love the most. This is because our anger is often caused by feelings of frustration, hurt, or disappointment. When we don't express our anger healthily, it can lead to emotional and physical health issues, relationship problems, and even violence.
The positive effects of anger can motivate us to take action and change. It can also give us energy and make us feel powerful. When our anger is directed at something or someone that deserves it, it can be a compelling force for good.
Anger is a powerful emotion that can positively and negatively affect our lives. When we're angry, we feel energized and motivated to take action. This can be a good thing if our anger is directed at something or someone that deserves it.
Anger can lead to stressful feelings and behaviors that can harm our physical and emotional health. For example, when we're angry, our heart rate and blood pressure increase, leading to health problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. Anger can also cause us to feel anxious or depressed, leading to other health problems.
Anger can also cause problems in our relationships. We may say or do things that we later regret when we're angry. We may also be less likely to listen to others and more likely to argue. This can lead to fights and arguments, which can damage our relationships.
One possible way to get your anger under control is the following mantra technique:
Take a deep breath and say, "this situation is not good for me."
Focus on relaxing by taking deep breaths and letting them out slowly.
Repeat a calming word or phrase in your mind, such as "relax" or "peaceful."
Our adrenaline starts pumping when we're angry, and our heart rate increases. This can lead to physical symptoms like a headache or a stomachache. It's also common to say things we regret when we're angry, which can damage our relationships with others.
It's essential to deal with our anger healthily. Suppressing it can lead to problems like anxiety or depression. Alternatively, releasing our anger in an uncontrolled way can be harmful to both ourselves and others.
Anger is a basic, primary emotion that we all experience from time to time. It’s an emotional response to feeling threatened or frustrated. And it can be a powerful motivator. But anger can also have some pretty negative effects on our health and well-being if it’s not managed properly. In this post, we’re going to take a look at the emotional effects of anger and offer some tips for managing your anger in healthy ways

Great news for us European fans, he hasn't toured Europe since 1998! As this year will be the fourtieth anniversary of his one and only visit to Norway, we are certainly hoping he'll come and see us here again. Norway isn't mentioned by Ringo, but he specifically singles out Russia, Spain and Denmark. As for his seventyfirst birthday, he will be celebrating it in Hamburg, Germany!

After buying a remote-controlled model of a Bugatti Divo, master of papercraft Dan Creator decided he’d prefer to drive a truck. So he got to work stripping down the scale supercar, removed its body, and reconfigured its chassis and drivetrain to ride beneath a cardboard model cargo truck loaded with tiny Amazon boxes.
Artisan watchmaker Jacob & Co created this incredible timepiece inspired by the W16 engine in the Bugatti Chiron. It has a working model of the 16-cylinder engine, powered by a 51-jewel movement. The one-of-a-kind watch has 578 hand-assembled parts, and cost $1.5 million, roughly half the price of the ultra-luxe supercar.
If you want a real Bugatti Chiron, you’re looking at about $3 million bucks. Or if you’re handy with cutting metal and welding, you could make one out of old car parts. CB Media visited Thailand’s Ban Hun Lek for a look at an incredible Chiron replica parked between an army of junkyard mechs and monsters.
Bugatti set their engineers and designers loose to create the most extreme track car concept. The result is this quad-turbo W16 lightweight monster that makes 1824 hp and weighs 2733 lb. Its top speed is “well above” 310 mph. In simulations, it does 0 to 124 mph in just 4.36 sec., 0 to 186 in 7.37 sec., and hits top speed in 33.62 sec.
French supercar maker Bugatti has taken its over-the-top Chiron, and bestowed it with hardware that makes it capable of breaking 300 mph. Its 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine makes an insane 1578 hp, and it has upgraded aero to keep it glued to the tarmac at speed. Just 30 of the cars will be made, with prices starting at $3.9 million.
The $3.5 million, 1479bhp Bugatti Chiron Sport is theoretically capable of hitting 261 mph, according to Bugatti. But nobody outside of Bugatti themselves has achieved that. In this clip from UK auto mag Top Gear, editor-in-chief Charlie Turner attempts to hit that top speed on VW’s fabled Ehra-Lessien testing circuit.
Like the Chiron, the Bugatti Centodieci is powered by an 8.0L W16 engine, but that’s about where the similarities end. This $9 million special edition features a unique design inspired by the EB 110 Super Sport, plus it cuts weight, increases downforce by 200 lb, and bumps its horsepower to 1600. Just 10 will be made, and they’re all sold.
The titanium brake calipers on the Bugatti Chiron are the only ones in the world to be produced using 3D printing tech. Watch the calipers get tested at extreme speeds, as eight pistons and industrial-strength pads clamp down on a red-hot disc, sending sparks flying.
We recently got a look at the amazing life-size LEGO Technic replica of the Bugatti Chiron. Now go behind the scenes with the design and build team to see how this incredible vehicle came to life. We just want to make everything out of those flexible blue panels now.
A real Bugatti Chiron will set you back $2.5 million, but this one cost just 1,000,000 bricks… and 2,304 LEGO Power Function motors… and 4,032 Technic gears. This 3,300 lb Chiron makes just 5.3 hp with a top speed of 12.4 mph and is every bit as awesome as the real deal.
LEGO teamed up with hypercar maker Bugatti to create this incredible 1/8th scale, 3,599-piece replica of the Chiron, which measures 22″ long, and features details like an active rear wing, a working suspension, gearbox, and a W16 engine with pistons that move.
While we’ve still yet to see and hear Bugatti’s new Chiron hypercar flogged about at full speed, we’re already impressed by the epic exhaust note of its massive W16 engine, as shown in this video of one of the cars being unloaded for an exhibition in Vienna, Austria.
The Chiron has an 8L quad-turbocharged W-16 engine that produces up to 1478hp and 1180lb.ft. of torque, making it the world’s most powerful production street car. It goes from 0 to 62mph in 2.5s and has a limited top speed of 261mph. Each of its 500 units costs $2.6M.


Magnificent’ birth of rare skinks in UK zoo
For the first time, the endangered Bermuda Skink has been bred outside of the island — at the Chester Zoo.
The breeding programme in tandem with the British zoo, begun in 2013, has just yielded a total of seven hatchlings — a milestone in the species’ history.
The beloved rock lizards have clung for decades at the verge of extinction — the victims of habitat destruction, introduced predators and discarded bottles, which trap and kill skinks.
The skinks, one of the island’s few natives, are among the world’s rarest lizards.
The Chester Zoo programme was unveiled as a blueprint for captive breeding the species, in the hope of developing a larger scale programme back home — leading to the reintroduction of the offspring back into the wild.
The hatching of two clutches of eggs was hailed as “magnificent news” by Gerado Garcia, Curator of Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates at Chester Zoo.

The age-old adage definitely rings true, “Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.” This is especially true when it comes to how the different sexes are affected by marijuana and how much they use it.
Who Frequents Cannabis More?
According to a survey conducted by Gallup, eight percent of men and six percent of women consume cannabis on a regular basis. In contrast, the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health states that men were 50 percent more likely to have smoked marijuana in the last 60 days than women.
Men and Woman Cannabis Effects
Recent research has discovered that THC and the hormones of men and women act quite a bit differently. Estrogen makes women much more sensitive to the effects of marijuana, while men may lose out on some of its key perks.
While women benefit from cannabis as a chronic pain fighter more than men, they are more likely to experience with-drawl symptoms, become more forgetful, and build up a quicker tolerance to the medication.
Women also go from hit to habit a lot faster than men. This is not only because of biology but because of social pressures as well.

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour (Paperback)
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 9781416990666, 343pp.
Publication Date: May 3, 2011
Praise For Amy & Roger's Epic Detour…
"The narrative keeps its momentum even through flashbacks that gradually reveal more about Amy’s family tragedy and interspersed pages from Amy’s travel scrapbook, which includes jotted state overviews, souvenir menus, and long, keenly apt music playlists that’ll send readers off to downloading. If all road trips were like this, nobody’d ever stay home."--Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

James Hynes discusses the books he read when writing his latest novel, Next: "I wanted to see if I could write a day-in-the-life novel, a narrative that would be set in a single day, or part of one, and by working backwards and forwards through flashbacks, encompass the entire life of a single character."
Writing in the London Review of Books (Reg. Req.), Evgeny Morozov clued me onto how "scientists at UCLA – with funding from the Chinese government – have built an ‘image to text’ system that automatically produces text summaries of what is taking place in captured video." A similar technology was also developed by NYU student Matt Richardson, whose "descriptive camera" can "automatically describe the scene in a camera's viewfinder, which, when the image was uploaded, would make it easier to find." Meanwhile one Twitter is describing typical Instagram shots in 140 characters or fewer.
The subjects of photographer Robert Dawson's latest project are beautiful, educational, and in danger; they are public libraries. For his new book, The Public Library: A Photographic Essay, Dawson visited hundreds of public libraries, from little free libraries to icons, in 48 states to photograph "our best example of the public commons." The Morning News has a few of his photos as well as an essay on the importance of libraries by Charles Simic. "Wherever I found a library, I immediately felt at home."

In the last two weeks, the media have been dealing with several polls, conducted by companies that have made before such electoral calculations in Albania, but also new companies.
Several televisions such as Report Tv, Ora News, Syri Tv and recently Euronews Albania, have published their polls. Polls that ultimately show the expectations of public opinion, and raise the hopes of political parties, the ruling one to extend the time at the head of government, or the opposition to overthrow the Socialists and take over the leadership of the government.
Undoubtedly, all the polls have some things in common, despite the fact that they are prepared by televisions that are already in Albania lined up with a political wing. Report Tv is known as a pro-government television station run by Carlo Bolino. Ora News was once with the DP, then closer to Rama, moving in fact according to the movement made by the SMI, ie President Ilir Meta.
Syri Tv of Çlirim Peka, is an opposition television station alongside former Prime Minister Berisha, but also with a love for Ilir Meta. On the other hand, the one that seems to be the most rational television is Euronews Albania, another international brand in Albania, which yesterday published the data of a survey that is probably more balanced than those of other media.
Anyway let’s look at the facts! All the polls have one thing in common, the great popular dissatisfaction with the country’s economy and development. So, Albanians couldn’t react differently after a pandemic, a devastating earthquake, or even an economy, where PPPs are tightening the government belt, which in turn is tightening the belt around the necks of Albanians.
There is no economic “boom”, there is no development of the employment sector, not to mention massive immigration. These are the commonalities that every poll gives, the popular dissatisfaction seems to be great. The second, polls show another fact.
The Socialist Party appears first in all cases, even in the polls prepared by Syri Tv of Çlirim Peka, even from the most opposition media, but also from the polls conducted by the companies contracted by the DP itself. The SP enjoys on average the support of almost 45 Albanians in all polls.
So, SP lead in safe mode, from 48 percent in 2017, today is 45 percent, a decrease of 3 percent that should probably have been greater, given the popular discontent. A third fact is that the opposition hasn’t been able to translate popular discontent into votes for it.
So, the popular dissatisfaction is great, but the DP and SMI are very low in voter support, even if compared to the Socialist Party. In all polls, the Democratic Party is trying to get it with maximum support, somewhere between 33-35 percent.
In fact, the electoral base of the Democratic Party has always been around 28-30 percent, and then it was Sali Berisha’s “mastery”, the gathering of allies and his political actions that brought him to power by maximizing votes. The DP comes out very low, almost half by half with popular discontent. This shows a lot, both for the skeptics and the supporters of Lulzim Basha, who have already started to understand that the leader of the Democratic Party doesn’t stick to the public opinion.
So there is no spiritual relationship of public opinion with him, and they don’t see him as hope and future for the country. On the other hand, the SMI is shrinking, and this is showed by the polls of Ilir Meta’s close friends, such as the case of Ora News, the seized television of the drug trafficker Xhemail Pasmaçiu, known to the public as Ylli Ndroqi.
The SMI is very low in the polls, both in the polls prepared by it, and in those prepared by the DP, and in those prepared by other political parties in Albania. Even in independent polls, it turns out there is a halving of followers it once had.
So, the common facts and truths that tells us all the polls are four First, the popular discontent; second, the leadership of the left; third, the distrust and lack of support for Lulzim Basha, and fourth, the free fall of the SMI.
These 4 data revealed by all the polls done so far, are 4 truths, 4 facts which show what the public opinion, opinion leaders or even the citizens themselves, already see and touch every day. Dissatisfaction with the government, the fact that the Socialists are more numerous in Albania, the fact that Lulzim Basha is a party leader imposed on DP membership, and that he cannot become a leader, and that Monika Kryemadhi has weakened more than ever the party Ilir Meta.
All statistical collected data have a name:he is called Lulzim Basha, who apparently is the only problem that hinders the growth of popular support for the opposition, to lead to the overthrow of Edi Rama./CNA.al

Nope, not one of the winners. Over 80 entries and no luck at all, which means I still can’t buy the stamps I have been eyeing off all year and can’t afford due to really high postage to Australia :'( It was a surprise to see the people with the least entries won, I’m sure they will enjoy their prizes.
Sorry Suz Rose
But the same with lottery but you have to admit the inspiration was AMAZING
Good luck understand about shipping which stamps did you want?
hehe Genevieve that’s true, even one entry can win. Just disappointed with all the hours spent entering lol. No luck for me with anything in life. I REALLY desperately want the Doodlebug stamps. I LOVE Doodlebug like a bit of a crazy person and when I saw the first stamps come out I just about had another heart attack haha! A shame they are not available elsewhere and that Doodlebug does not care about affordability for it’s customers (and yes I did talk to them about it). I REALLY wanted the CB Stamptember stamps but again, postage is so insane it’s not doable for poor people. I hope some people won who really needed the money.
Why not ask for Simon says Stamp vouchers for Christmas and your birthday?
Nor me. It’s like the lotto though eh! I was thinking though if you had won the $100, wouldn’t you still have to pay shipping on the goods you bought with the voucher? Xx
Congratulations to all the winners!!
Thanks for the great crafting extravaganza! I’m looking forward to next Stamptember already.

We have two folding chairs that sit in our (my husband’s and mine, that is) office. He sits at his computer with one – me at my sewing machine or serger with the other. They’re functional, but they were in need of new padding and covers. Recovering a chair is very simple and I thought I’d share with you how you do it!
First unscrew the cushions from the chair frame.
With a pair of pliers, remove all of the old staples holding in the old fabric cover and throw it away with the old foam that was used.
Cut a new piece of high density foam or similar to the size of your seat.
Wrap the chair bottom (with cushion) in the new fabric and secure in place using a staple gun. Make sure your staples aren’t long enough to go through the seat bottom (usually 1/4″ works well for most chairs). For a chair that will be used a lot, a home-decor weight fabric is best.
Secure the corners well, making them smooth on the finished side.
Trim any excess fabric and re-attach with your screws to the chair base. And your done!
Repeat on the other chairs too!
Your chairs look fantastic!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [08 Nov 02:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Great fabric, and this is a timely post. I just finished painting our dining room table (it’s been sitting in the garage for 6 YEARS waiting for the hubs to do it), and now I need to refinish all the chairs that came with it. Do you know of a good way to clean wooden chairs? I think they are going to need a good scrubbing, but I would rather not have to reseal them when I’m done.

I took this picture almost a year ago. Time really does go by in the blink of an eye, doesn't it? This is Merino wool, felted on Silk Pongee. I lay on Silk and Wool yarns, and everything becomes 'one' in the felting process. The perfect color red can be my nemesis at times. It's probably because I don't keep meticulous dye notes. I find so many things change from day to day, that I just use my notes as a point of reference. I love all the colors I dye but every now and then Iproduce what I consider the 'perfect' red (or pink...or indigo blue...).


Tonight the Department of Justice released the FBI informant, who was under a gag order, from his confidentiality agreement! This is HUGE!
This informant will now be legally allowed to testify before Congress on what he witnessed while undercover for the FBI about the Russian nuclear industry’s efforts in trying to win over U.S. Government Officials during the Obama administration, in order to get a hold of U.S. Uranium.
According to the Hill:
Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores confirmed that a deal had been reached which now would allow the informant to talk to Congress nearly eight years after he first went undercover for the FBI.
“As of tonight, the Department of Justice has authorized the informant to disclose to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as one member of each of their staffs, any information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery involving transactions in the uranium market, including but not limited to anything related to Vadim Mikerin, Rosatom, Tenex, Uranium One, or the Clinton Foundation,” she said.
Remember my video about a week ago on this whole Uranium deal…..? I give a full run down and I will post below for a re-cap…. but this is what could possibly finally take down Hillary. While Secretary of State, her husband goes to Russia, gets paid 500,000 for a speech (because that’s normal and Russians really want to pay 500k for speeches from past Presidents …wink wink) After that, the Russian’s give the Clinton Foundation 145 MILLION DOLLARS, and the Obama Administration gives the Russians over 20% of U.S. Uranium! I know….I throw up a little every time I relay this information…..but if this isn’t BRIBERY…..what is?
It’s Christmas in October folks! All the cards are falling down! What has been hidden and kept in darkness is coming to light! Now we get to hear from someone who was behind the scenes…..get your popcorn ready!

1. What role did the cotton gin play in the development of the cotton economy in Georgia and the wider South?
Cotton production was made vastly more efficient exponentially increasing (by fifty times) the amount of cotton a person could seed in a day. The increase in cotton production saw an increase in the demand for slaves and the acreage cotton crops take up as well. Increasingly, wealth in the South became invested in land for growing cotton and the slaves that would help turn that cotton into profits.
2. How do you think increased cotton production affected the relationship between Georgians and Native Americans?
Increased cotton production and the subsequent increased demand for land in Georgia likely led to more pressure on on Native American groups to cede more of their land to Georgian settlers who were moving west.
3. Although the cotton gin led to increased production and economy, it also had the unintended consequence of increasing the demand for slavery. Can you think of other innovations or inventions that had unintended negative consequences? Why?
Answers will vary but students may mention technology like phones and televisions or even weapons like the nuclear bomb.
