How to Start a Food Farm That Produces 8 Times More Than A Traditional Garden on Auto-Pilot?
A planting system which involves low maintenance, is self-contained and leaves a productive ecosystem is known as Permaculture gardening. It uses techniques and practice that combines the best of wildlife gardening, edible landscaping and native plant cultivation.
Why Use Permaculture?
Permaculture gardens serve many functions. They provide food and medical crops, wildlife habitats, crafting materials, an attractive appearance, and a private relaxing atmosphere throughout every season.
These gardens produce food by using a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers. The flowers not only serve for medical services but also cut down for beautiful bouquets, for displays and also for craft materials.
What comprises a Permaculture Garden?
Many methods can be implied when you think of a permaculture garden. The best part is there is no method that will disturb the ecosystem in a permaculture garden practice.
Some of the gardening and recycling methods used in the self-sustaining (Permaculture) gardens are as follows:
- Edible gardening & companion planting -
Edible gardening is a common type of gardening where vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, small fruit bearing trees, and companion plants are commonly grown together. The benefit of companion planting is the minimum use of resources because of similar intake of the companion plants.
- Raised beds and vertical gardening techniques - Raised beds are a commonplace with a permaculture garden, filled with an assortment of plants. They take a little room, can be accessed easily and look beautiful. Vertical gardening includes growing plants on trellises and hanging baskets.
- Keyhole gardening - Keyhole gardening is beautiful and extremely productive. The beds in this type of garden are in the shape of a horseshoe and are made in a way that they are easily accessible by the user. They can also be designed in a circle, with the center including a variety of herbs and perennials. If you have enough space, you can add a small pond or other water feature as well.
- Sheet mulching - This type of cultivation includes planting by non-tilling of soil and retaining the nutrients in the soil. A barrier or wet newspaper is applied to the area which eventually breaks down over time that allows both water and plant roots to enter the soil. This way, the inner layer of soil is not exposed which allows the soil to retain its nutrient and remain rich. Around the outer edges of the soil, a layer of compost and soil is applied for plantings. This is then covered with additional straw to retain moisture.
- Soil and Composting- Soil is an important part of permaculture farming. Also worms are an essential in permaculture gardening. The importance of worms is they keep the soil loose and healthy. Compost piles are another important element of a permaculture garden. All materials for fertilizing and mulching are produced within the permaculture garden.
Benefits of Permaculture Gardening
The first and the foremost benefit of permaculture gardening is that nothing is wasted in this kind of cultivation. The garden waste is used for composting, which in turn is used for soil amendment and fertilizers.
Water plays an essential role in all kinds of farming and so does in permaculture gardening. The water keeps the soil and the plants hydrated and also attracts wildlife to the permaculture garden. Implementing recycling practice for watering is also a great step towards your perfect permaculture gardening.
For example, rain barrels are used to catch rainwater coming from gutter downspouts. This helps the dual way, it saves the water as well as it is very good for the garden as rainwater is loaded with nutrients.
Another benefit of a permaculture garden is that you don’t need pesticides in the garden. The water feature often encourages beneficial insects, birds, frogs and other small wildlife creatures and they feed on the pests of the permaculture garden. Another way of planting in a permaculture garden, known as companion planting, also helps keep insect and other pest problems to a minimum.
Permaculture gardens are also maintenance-free gardens. They are a best example of a minimum investment and maximum results. Once you plan a proper permaculture garden with proper techniques, optimised usage of cultivating habits according to the soil and plants you have nothing to do but water and harvest crops or add occasional mulch.
So, to summarise with a permaculture garden. They are a type of farming that can essentially take care of itself. Each plant that is grown in a permaculture garden has its own specific purpose. They are different in their characteristics and have different purposes to serve. Some are solely used for food and others for medicine. Some of them are planted just to attract the beneficial insects that will keep the soil manure while others are planted to deter or keep away the pests dangerous for their growth. Then there are plants which are meant to only improve the health of the soil. They are planted just to keep the nutrients intact in the soil and not let them wash away with the water while there are also plants which just increase the beauty of the permaculture garden.
There is no other best way to experience what nature has to offer than in a permaculture garden. It includes all the natural enjoyment, benefits and results that are purely dependent on nature. The best advantage of a permaculture garden is that it does not damage any of the natural resources rather it uses it in a very positive manner. Even the waste that is created by the crops or plants in a permaculture garden are re-used by themselves to increase the fertility of the soil.
So, If there is a pandemic or there is no pandemic around, one should always be ahead if they have a chance to grow, cultivate and enjoy a permaculture garden. It is a best way to spend time with nature, its benefits and feel good seeing the crops grow.

On November 4th, 2022, the 9th JROTC Battalion hosted a “Route of Valor“, where cadets honored many service members by telling their stories of bravery and patriotism. There were nine stations where cadets role-played and shared these stories: Michael Christensen, a Vietnam War POW; the Black Bicycle Corps members of the 1890s, 1SG Pascal Poolaw, a Native American who served in Vietnam; Ted Akimoto, a Japanese-American who served in WWII; Joseph Quintero, a Mexican-American who was a POW of the Japanese in WWII; Hazel Ying Lee, a Chinese-American woman who was a WASP in WWII; Tibor Rubin, a Jewish Holocaust survivor who served during the Korean War; Sarah Edmonds, a women who disguised herself as a man to serve in the Civil War; and SFC Alwyn Cashe, an African-American Medal of Honor recipient who served in Iraq. Cadet E. McCaskill who was a narrator for Ted Akimoto remarked, “ I really liked how the stories were written, they were a little long but went in a little more depth than you would expect.” Cadet. Roman, who was one of the actors, stated, “It was very organized and exciting to act as one of the soldiers who fought.”
Cadet ushers greeted guests at the door and handed out maps of the station locations. Ansbach Middle High School art students decorated luminaries that were placed in the school hallways along the “Route of Valor.” Cadets also served refreshments donated by the local American Legion and USO.
Cadet Haynes (who was the narrator for Michael Christensen) had this to say about the event, “ I really liked the presenting part of it and getting to interact with some of the people and answer their questions.”

Here's your Monday morning rouser: Boogie heaven. Just like Mondays.
I spy Paul Shaffer directing traffic, and a young Ron Wood not being old and creepy looking.
Such a mess, yet I can't help but notice the budget deficit was known to all when the session started last winter. Might it have been different if the sense of urgency for a solution had gripped the Capitol then, rather than in the last days of the session? Discuss.
More and more the timeline is raising the question of why, if the torture was to prevent terrorist attacks, it seemed to happen mainly during the period when the Bush crowd was looking for what was essentially political information to justify the invasion of Iraq.
Dowd says she got it from a friend, which means at the very least, she plagiarized her friend.
What we're doing
That's 1-800-227 28.... Oh, wait. That's over. Back to work!
Midmorning - It's easier to say you will reduce health care costs, as some big health care firms did earlier this month, than to actually do it. In the second hour: Rita Dove.
Midday -- These are the days Midday fans live for. A huge story at the Capitol, and Gary Eichten taking his show there. He'll feature interviews with all four legislative leaders, key committee chairs and political analysts. On opening day, Gov. Pawlenty was absent from the show. Might he show up today? I'm guessing not. I'll live-blog it here and chat with you about these last few days.
Talk of the Nation - Ralph Eubanks tells the story of his grandparents and three generations of his family, on the black side, and the white side.
All Things Considered -- With the clock ticking closer to
Armageddon the end of the legislative session, Tim Post will look at what higher education got out of the session, Tom Scheck will follow the action during the day, and Brandt Williams covers the start of the Fong Lee shooting trial in Minneapolis.
Debbie Elliot has an interesting story: Prepaying for college. In Alabama, parents can pay for tuition while their kids are still young, locking in tomorrow's education and today's price. But the trust fund, it was reported recently, has lost 45 percent of its value. It sounds like educational Social Security.(3 Comments)
So here we are, hours away from the end of a legislative session that appears to be ending in chaos. Let's talk about it as we listen to Gary Eichten on Midday talking to most of the principals involved.(1 Comments)
Emergency medical personnel don't take women seriously. That's the takeaway from a University of Pennsylvania study released today that found no differences in the time of EMS care given to African Americans and white patients, but found women don't get the same medical care when exhibiting signs of heart attacks.
The researchers looked at whether patients got aspirin and nitroglycerin -- two immediate treatments for chest pain, and whether they were put on heart monitors and had IV lines put in while enroute to the hospital.
"Results showed that women were significantly less likely than men to receive aspirin while in the care of EMS - 24 percent of them were given the drug, compared to 32 percent of men," according to a report.(1 Comments)
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America does not appear to be moving toward endorsing the role of homosexuals in relationships as pastors. Under the current rules, homosexuals can be ministers in the church if they promise to be celibate.
In August, ELCA's national convention in Minneapolis will consider whether to leave that up to each of the 65 synods nationwide.
On Sunday, the Northwest Minnesota Synod approved a resolution rejecting a proposal that non-celibate gays be allowed to serve as clergy members. The resolution rejecting the proposal passed by just two votes (See resolution).
"I'm not surprised that it was close," Bishop Larry Wohlrabe told the Worthington Daily News (registration required). "I'm a little amazed that it was that close."
Before passing the resolution, however, delegates struck a provision that declared "a majority of ELCA members and most Christian churches -- including most in the Lutheran World Federation -- believe that marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman."
At the same time, the synod voted against a resolution that would have rejected ELCA's social statement, "Human Sexuality Gift and Trust. " (See report), which says after "many years of study and conversation, this church does not have consensus regarding loving and committed same-gender relationships." But the draft says the church "supports legislation and policies to protect civil rights and to prohibit discrimination in housing, employment and public services. It has called upon congregations and members to welcome, care for, and support same-gender couples and their families, and to advocate for their legal protection."
The ELCA social statement rejected by the synod was drafted by a task force headed by Rev. Peter Strommen, of Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church in Prior Lake.
By way of background, City Pages profiled four people last summer who have a particular interest in the question.(6 Comments)

Heritage refurbishment of important cultural asset
Theatre Royal is an important piece of Australian theatre history, originally built in 1976 and designed by Harry Seidler. To bring the cultural asset back to life, Trafalgar Entertainment and Forge Venture Management engaged Buildcorp to deliver a significant heritage refurbishment and fit-out project.
The project was run concurrently with the wider transformation of 25 Martin Place, owned and managed by Dexus. Tight coordination and collaboration with the base builder of the 25 Martin Place project was required to enable the works of the theatre and meet the handover date in time for the opening production.
The box office, VIP lounges, bars and seating areas underwent a full upgrade. Significant refurbishment works to the back-of-house areas optimised the functionality of specialist technical spaces and facilities for theatrical cast and crew. The scope included new ceilings and flooring (including stage flooring), new seating, fit-out of the lobby’s cold shell, as well as a significant services and compliance upgrade. Structural expansion to the dress circle increased the seating capacity and was delivered using 3D modelling to ensure no lines of sight were impacted.
The ECI partnership started early in the design phase to explore, resolve and de-risk the project scope across every area of the sizeable venue. Buildcorp worked closely with Trafalgar’s theatre design experts to ensure all back-and-front-of-house details were considered.
The team’s upgrades and compliance solutions were designed to protect important heritage items. Buildcorp worked with Scott Carver Architects and heritage consultants Urbis to source and prototype samples of heritage items, including the theatre’s striking gold ceiling blades, restored to their former glory.
Buildcorp also partnered with our joinery arm Euroline to develop solutions for the fit-out, including the front of house bars, the box office, VIP rooms, theatre screen cladding and feature screen displays.
By proactively managing impacts to labour and materials created by the pandemic, the project was completed on time to meet the bump-in date for the Jagged Little Pill production crew. We look forward to the rejuvenated Theatre Royal enlivening a new era of Australian theatre.

Minimum wage increases today in Minneapolis
The minimum wage in Minneapolis has increased to $11 for small employers and $12.25 for large employers.
The Minneapolis minimum wage ordinance defines small businesses as 100 or fewer employees and large businesses as more than 100 employees. Tips and gratuities do not count toward payment of a minimum wage.
The City’s Department of Civil Rights oversees enforcement of the municipal minimum wage, and workers are encouraged to report violations online. The City has received 30 reports of minimum wage violations to date. Employees have received over $21,000 in back wages and penalties as a result of investigations into those violations.
Increases in Minneapolis’ minimum wage benefit tens of thousands of families. The ordinance, which took effect January 2018, supports the City’s goals of promoting economic inclusion and reducing economic and racial disparities.

Top ten albums from the early 00’s
Those good old times; my brother in law with his greasy haircut was messing around with my sister and brought me and my brother music that we were always eager to hear. I’m left with the idea that I am probably the only one amongst my brother, brother in law and me who still listens to the music we were listening to back then. It’s hard to find friends nowadays that want to tag along in going to a moshpit concert. If I am unable to find someone to come with me I usually just go alone.
Amazing concert year
This year is going to be amazing with regards to concerts: in January I saw Touché Amoré (Dutch) live in an obscure German indoor skatepark, in May I will see Underoath (Dutch) in the Melkweg (Amsterdam) again after many years, in August metalcore giants August Burns Red (Dutch) will be performing in the Melkweg and last week I booked tickets for Loud & Proud in Daaden, Germany, where amongst others Demon Hunter (Dutch) and Project 86 (Dutch) will be performing live. Nice! Today, my 10 albums from the early zero’s (2000-2005), from when I was 15-20 years old. In March I turned 32 years.
Project 86 – Drawing Black Lines
It all started with this. Deservedly, it has a 5-star review on JFH, because this is an absolute iconic album! Powerful songs that are also good when listened to live which I had the pleasure of experiencing many times. Especially the first three songs, goosebumps. From hard opener Stein’s Theme to the more ‘radio-friendly’ song (and single) One-armed Man (Play On) to the catchy Me Against Me. Favorites of mine are Sad machines and Open Hand. The usual strong lyrics, heavy bass combined with the almost nasal singing of Andrew Schwab make this album a true trip down memory lane. I remember the text of the whole album nearly flawlessly. Project 86 created many more albums from which the newest album will be released in 2017. As stated, at the end of this year I will see them again live since many years. I’m already looking forward to it!
P.O.D. – Satellite
Well, who doesn’t know the hit Alive of P.O.D.? They were also able to release Boom and Youth of the Nation on radio in the times of Korn and Linkin Park, also named the ‘now-metal’. This album also contains strong hits, I’m able to listen to the complete album easily. Only the more hip-hop and reggae oriented songs are not for me. The striking front man Sonny Sandoval could create many albums with his band, but was never able to reach the level of this masterpiece. In my opinion at least. I think the main reason for this is that on the last two albums, the lyrics were shallow and bad, even to an embarrassing level. P.O.D. was always (consciously) an outsider in the Christian music scene and unfortunately I have never seen them live. Personal favorites are Set It Off, Ghetto and closer Portrait. 4/5 stars on JFH.
Blindside – Silence
Man, how happy I was when years back I got the chance to see Blindside live during (again) a German music festival where I, together with my brother, saw Project 86 and other bands live. Just like Project 86 and P.O.D., Blindside can be described as a hard rock / now-metal with sometimes an edge of screaming. For a large part, Blindside got their fame thanks to P.O.D. The striking ‘emo’ frontman Christian Lindskog surprised me with his strong guest performance in the song ‘Speak’ of Everything in Slow Motion (Dutch). I recognized his singing immediately; from clean vocals that suddently turn to ‘screams’ in a nice way. It was only until 2011 when the level of Silence (4,5/5 on JFH) was matched with ‘With Shivering Hearts We Wait’. Regarding Silence my recommendation is: opener Caught A Glimpse, Sleepwalking and the modest closer Silence.
Stavesacre – Stavz’a’ker
A stranger in our midst. I passed on the chance to see them live in Germany (unfortunately). Mark Solocom is no stranger in the Christian music world. Besides the fact that the album is rated 2 out of 5 stars on JFH, this album was (together with the Collective from 2001) my introduction to rock of Stavesacre. I have enjoyed it countless of times. Nowadays, Mark draws my attention with his Never Was Podcast and this year a new album will be brought out for the first time in the past 7 years, it’s called MCMXCV. The singing of Mark is very distinct (what is that?) to the level of you will either love or hate it. My favorite songs of this album are Witch Trial, Blind Hope and The Sad Parade. Just like P.O.D., Stavesacre already had a pretty big repertoire when I started listening to them. (Collective is a ‘best of’). Besides, Mark has been the front man of the band The Crucified since 1996. He’s getting old ;-)
The Showdown – A Chorus of Obliteration
Two thousand and four was the year in which albums were released like it was nothing. The genre itself was popular and lead by Tooth & Nail / Solid State Records, many hard bands (metal(core), hardcore) broke through following the punkrock hype. Suddenly, the band Showdown appeared with their debut album A Chorus of Obliteration (JFH 4/5). This was something else: undisturbed metal sang with many screams, growls & grunts. Opener ‘A Monument Encased in Ash’ gives a great peek into what awaits you on this strong album. Add this to a somewhat worrying cover and you get a doubting Christian teenager. Besides all this, luckily the lyrics were great and that’s why I kept playing this album over and over. Later, The Showdown started slowing down a bit more. I like playing their songs nowadays: Hell Can’t Stop Us Now, Epic – A Chorus of Obliteration and excellent closer Laid to Rest.
Underoath – They’re Only Chasing Safety
The ‘biggest’ band in this list definitely is Underoath (Dutch). Besides the fact that I didn’t like their first efforts, I like to listen to this album very much. In May, I will see them live and then they will play this album ‘front-to-back’ just like the later released ‘Define the Great Line’. Yes, that will certainly be a great concert. Years back I saw them at the same venue, the Melkweg, just before drummer Aaron Gillespie quit. That show is still in my top 3. The strong aspect of They’re Only Chasing Safety (4,5/5 on JFH) is the accessibility. After all, loud guitars and yelling guys do not appeal to everyone. However, with sing-along songs such as A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black and White, Reinventing your Exit and It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door, this album can’t really do anything wrong. The combination of the vocals of Spencer and Aaron works very well. Addictive!
It’s a wrap
That was it! My top 10 and introduction to the heavier stuff in the Christian Music spectrum. Since my youth I have been stuck in it. Love it!

Genome integrity is constantly challenged by endo- and exogenous DNA-damaging factors. The influence of genotoxic agents causes an accumulation of DNA lesions, which if not repaired, become mutations that can cause various abnormalities in a cell metabolism. The main pathway of DSB repair, which is based on non-homologous recombination, is canonical non-homologous end joining (C-NHEJ). It has been shown that this mechanism is highly conserved in both Pro- and Eukaryotes. The mechanisms that underlie DSB repair through C-NHEJ have mainly been investigated in mammalian systems, and therefore our knowledge about this process is much more limited as far as plants, and crop plants in particular, are concerned. Recent studies have demonstrated that PARP3 is an important response factor to the presence of DSB in a genome. The aims of this study were to identify the sequence of the barley PARP3 gene, to perform a mutational analysis of the sequence that was identified using the TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) method and to phenotype the mutants that were identified through their exposure to mutagenic treatment with the DSB-inducing chemical--bleomycin. A functional analysis led to the identification of a series of parp3 alleles. The mutants were characterized using several different approaches, including quantifying the DSB and γH2AX foci, which validated the function of the HvPARP3 gene in DSB repair in barley. The potential involvement of the HvPARP3 gene in the regulation of telomere length in barley was also analyzed.
Keywords: Barley; DNA repair; Double-strand breaks; Mutagenesis; PARP3; TILLING; Telomere.

In reflecting on what sore losers establishment Republicans are proving themselves to be in this election cycle, I cannot help but notice the irony.
It is establishment Republicans who have preached to conservatives the importance of uniting around Republican nominees, no matter how liberal, and of accepting a variety of viewpoints in a “big tent” GOP. I got an earful of that back in my days as a precinct chair.
And earlier this year, there was much concern that rogue tea partiers would undermine Republicans and enable Democrats by going third party. And I frankly shared that concern.
But now look. Tea party backed candidates who lost in GOP Senate primaries are supporting the winning Republicans, while the likes of Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist and Lisa Murkowski not only do not support the Republican nominee, but go independent or Democrat. These RINOs and their supporters who have preached a unified big tent Republican Party not only confirm that they do not care about Republican values, they reveal they do not care about about the GOP itself. These RINOs only care about their own power.
It’s not for nothing that Sen. Jim DeMint has called out Lisa Murkowski and her ilk as “big tent hypocrite(s)” in a recent fundraising e-mail.
Thus tea partiers are proving themselves to be better and more faithful Republicans than establishment RINOs:
“The tea party activists get involved in Republican primaries, play by the rules, and then the Republican establishment candidate proves that he was never a loyal Republican in the first place and goes rogue. . .”
Who would’ve thunk?
Another interesting theme of this election year is that a sense of entitlement can be an ugly thing. (Perhaps more on that in due time.) Murkowski is a wonderful illustration of that. Appointed by daddy to her Senate seat, she now discards Republicans who dared not see that the seat belongs to her. And the first ad for her write-in campaign barely disguises her contempt for the rest of Alaska’s voters as well.
The sooner we’re rid of her, the better.

Periodontal disease is incredibly common, and with half of American adults struggling with some degree of this disease, finding new ways to reduce the incidence of it is critical. The link between elevated cholesterol levels is well documented; reduced circulation caused from high cholesterol can lead to heart attack, stroke, and — of course — gum disease. Now new research shows that statins (cholesterol medicine) can improve the condition of gum disease in patients who take them.
Cholesterol Levels, Inflammation and Periodontal Disease
An infection of the gums, the symptoms of periodontal disease can range in severity depending on the progression of it. Milder forms of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can usually be treated at home with a good oral health regimen. Advanced periodontitis, however, often requires medical intervention to treat it.
Patients who have high cholesterol levels often have more severe periodontal disease, complete with deep gum pockets, receding gums, and tooth loss. However, taking statins has been shown to reduce the incidence of gum disease in patients with elevated cholesterol:
- In as little as four weeks, patients who took statins noticed dramatically reduced gum disease
- Reduced systemic (blood vessel inflammation) led to less gum inflammation
- Patients who had higher levels of CVD (cardiovascular disease) and took higher doses of statins had the highest benefits overall to their gum disease
- Patients who took statins had 43% less overall inflammation and 37% fewer periodontal pockets
The debate on correlation versus causation is always raised when studies like this come out, but research seems to strongly suggest that the periodontal disease actually triggers the cardiovascular disease and not the other way around. Chronic inflammation in your body can tax your entire system, leading to heart attack, stroke, and even death.
Taking good care of your teeth is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. In addition to brushing and flossing, regular dental cleanings can help keep you at your best health. Please give our office a call today to set up your appointment with our skilled and professional dental staff for a comprehensive cleaning and assessment for gum disease.

Since some years, TUNE propose a Skyline wheelset based upon Zipp 280 rims and classic retail available TUNE hubs.
This year, TUNE makes things really good and could get a partnership with Reynolds to use KOM rims. These rims are the lightest ones with a nice 220gr.
The german company has upgraded their hubs since a new rear hub is developped. It is incredibly light and is made for radial non drive side pattern. Carbon is used in the flanges, we’ll see in some weeks how the hub will be called. We should be ready for a Mag140! This means the hub should be around 140gr, perhaps slightly more. TUNE already had the lightest hub with its Mag150 but it’s now killing any rival with it!
The front hub is a Mig45 with full ceramic bearings, it weights a nice claimed 35gr.
Wheelset weight will be close to 850gr with Cx-ray spokes.

Apart from this, Anadrol stimulates the making of red blood cells in the body, which results in delivering a better supply of oxygen to the muscles in action.Anadrol tablets are commonly referred to as red blood cells, trenbolone liver. They are available in tablets, capsules and powders, and contain 50-75 mg, or 100mg per tablet.These tablets are commonly used in the treatment of:Blood pressureCerebral venous insufficiency (CVI)Cardiac tamponadeConvulsionsHeart blockHypertrophic cardiomyopathy and peripheral vascular diseaseMigraine headacheMyocardial ischemia or ischemia-reperfusion syndromeMyocardial infarctionPeripheral arterial hypertensionRheumatoid arthritisSleep apneaStaggered angina pectorisStrokeTrigeminal neuralgiaUlcerative colitisVentricular pilocarpocerebellar ataxiaVentricular pilocarpocerebellar fibrosisVentilatory dysfunction (laryngospasm, dysphagia, hypotension)UseThese tablets work through the action of the drug's anticoagulant properties, which reduce the amount of blood vessels that need to dilate (blood flow is increased) to prevent the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels, causing them to become larger.Anadrol tablets are often used in combination with a blood coagulant, such as haptenone, to lower the need for blood products to reduce the amount of blood that needs to dilate, are sarms legal in south korea1.
Anadrol and trenbolone is another common and powerful steroid cycle, which can be taken together like anadrol and testolactone, or separately. Testolactone has slightly more muscle mass, but more importantly in rats, is metabolised slightly differently than anadrol and testosterone in the liver, causing more insulin resistance, so that the body doesn't over-produce anadrol to build more muscle. Testolactone also has similar effects to testosterone in the testicles, increasing the production of SHBG, which allows the liver to produce more testosterone into the bloodstream, deca newton. The advantage of combining steroids is that anadrol has a slightly greater metabolic clearance rate or uptake of the hormone, but it can also increase the effects of trenbolone, which is a very potent androgen itself, to some degree.In rats, trenbolone was more likely to cause some type of testosterone suppression than anadrol was, deca newton. Because of the reduced hepatic clearance of anadrol, the body starts synthesizing it again in the liver (which is how anadrol prevents muscle growth after an injury by decreasing your production of GH), and you'll go from a low testosterone level to full testosterone levels with a single week of trenbolone. The advantage of taking a steroid with a slower metaboliser rate like trenbolone is that the body has to try harder to get the full effect.Anadrol has more muscle mass than all of the other testosterone products, but it's metabolized at a slower rate, so your total testosterone production rate will decrease when you take this, lgd 4033 liquid.Trenbolone's metabolic clearance rate is lower than anadrol, but the body can still generate enough testosterone to meet our goals, dosis anadrol. It has a higher rate of breakdown per gram than anadrol, but that's not something we really consider as important, because in the long run, I think the only reason for keeping an anadrol level in the 'wrong' range of ~150 to ~175ng/dl is to avoid wasting our testosterone if we use it with anabolic steroids without proper monitoring. Taking enough testosterone with anabolic steroids can cause testosterone to build up in muscle without your awareness, and that will hurt your performance.Anadrol can also cause liver damage. It's metabolised at the liver in the same way that testosterone is, so it can lead to liver disease. Anadrol is also known to have adverse effects on the liver of people under the age of 40 (which is one reason why testosterone levels need to be monitored every two months), anadrol dosis.

Did you know that April is National Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month?
Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child.
- 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted).
- About 3% of American men — or 1 in 33 — have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.
Meanwhile, only 5 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison.
It’s not always easy to know what to say when someone tells you they’ve been sexually assaulted, especially when that person is a family member, friend or loved one.
But there are ways to show support:
- Listen. Communicate with your loved one without judgment.
- Be there. If the survivor seeks medical attention or plans to report, offer to be there. Your presence can offer the support they need.
- Offer support. Encourage the survivor to get support. But realize that only they can make the decision to get help
- Be patient. Remember, there is no timetable for recovering from trauma. Avoid putting pressure on them to engage in activities they aren’t ready to do yet.
- Encourage self-care. Following an assault it is important to practice good self-care during this difficult time.
If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual violence — you are not alone. Help is available.
Local Hotline & Resources
Locally, Crime Victims Assistance Center provides free counseling, 24/7 crisis support, victims advocacy, as well as prevention education for those affected by crime throughout the Southern Tier.

In January city commissioners terminated the contract with Hamm’s construction for a new fire station. The city claims Hamm was responsible for a crack in the foundation, a faulty roof and construction delays. Hamm denies those claims.
He’s suing the city for damages, costs and other relief.
“I have never ever in my career 15 years ever worked for a bunch of people as incompetent and inept as is the city commission of Wewahitchka,” Hamm said in late January.
Wewahitchka commissioners declined to comment but responded to our records request with a copy of the lawsuit. They also filed a motion asking the judge to dismiss Hamm’s lawsuit.

TWO boys from Gwent have been convicted of raping a girl of 10 when they were aged just 12 and 13, and will now have to sign the sex offenders’ register.
The boys, now both aged 14 and who escaped custodial sentences, later dared the girl, a friend, to engage in sexual activity - and her shocked mother discovered them, a court heard.
Newport Crown Court was yesterday told the boys had taken part in an “impulsive sexual experimentation gone wrong” on two separate occasions in February and June last year.
The first defendant was charged with rape, and the second defendant charged with rape and three counts of causing and inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity. They had denied the charges but were found guilty of all offences after a trial last month (June).
In relation to the first incident in February 2013, the court heard how the girl and the two boys, who cannot be named, were playing football outside but decided to come back to the house of one of the defendants as it was getting cold.
When they got inside the house, they started playing video games, but the second defendant was encouraging the other to have sex with the victim.
The first defendant, who has an IQ of someone aged between eight and 10 years old but was aged 13 at the time, “lacked the emotional maturity to resist”, according to his defence lawyer Lawrence Jones.The court heard there was evidence the girl was also touched by the second defendant, who was 12.
In relation to the second incident, which took place in woodlands four months later, the trio were playing a game of “dare” when the victim was encouraged to perform sexual acts on the defendants. The mother of the victim came looking for her daughter, who had refused, and intervened.
Mr Jones added there was no evidence of premeditation and it was a case of “impulsive sexual experimentation gone wrong”. The second defendant’s defence lawyer, Heath Edwards, said his client had “learned his lesson”.
Sentencing the pair, Mr Recorder Ian Murphy QC said: “This is a very serious offence. Had you been adults, the court would have been looking at a lengthy custodial sentence.
“You two were very young at the time. You used to play football together with the defendant. She was visiting [one of the defendant’s] home and after playing football, you were cold and went back inside the house to play X-Box.
“You betrayed your friendship and you engaged in impulsive sexual exploration. No force was used but she was only a little girl of 10.
“This offence only came to light in June 2013 when you two were playing a game of ‘dare’ with her in the woods. Her mother came looking for her and saw one of the defendants trying to encourage her daughter. Naturally, [her mother] was horrified and intervened.
“Between February 2013 and June 2013, [the victim] continued her friendship with you. There have been severe consequences for her and her family, who have described their daughter as an ‘empty shell’ and having had her innocence ‘taken away from her’.”
The judge praised the actions of the victim’s mother for intervening and informing the appropriate authorities.
He sentenced the defendants to a youth rehabilitation order for a two-year period of intensive supervision. During that period they will undergo sexual offence programmes, educational activities and will be electronically tagged for three months with a 7am to 7pm curfew. Both will have to register on the sex offenders’ register for two-and-a-half years. The judge also ordered a victim surcharge of £15.

Schools are expected to be a safe space for learning and sharing, but for some students, school environments can be prove to be uncomfortable or even toxic. Two days after the general election in which Donald Trump was elected, a bus driver in upstate New York conducted a rather misinformed social experiment on the children she was driving.
An elementary school bus driver in Canandaigua is under fire from parents for favoring children who would have voted for Trump, CBS News reported.
According to officials of the Canandaigua City School District, the bus driver in question held a mock election among the kindergarten through fifth grade students who were aboard her school bus. After determining the results of the “election” by a show of hands, the driver then allowed the students who raised their hands for Trump off the bus first.
Those who showed support for Hillary Clinton had to remain seated until the Trump “voters” exited from the bus. Needless to say, parents complained to the city school district after their kids told them about what happened.
An outraged parent of three students involved, Alaina Olivieri, reportedly said, “Just like I do every night, we talked about how the day went, and given the emotional nature of the day, I asked if there was discussion of the election… That’s when they brought up what happened on the bus.”
Olivieri continued to explain why she was disappointed in the driver, but stressed that she did not wish for her to lose her job over the mishap. She said, “When I send my kids to school on the bus, I assume they are in a safe environment and with teachers, coaches, and drivers that are going to treat them with respect… I feel that didn’t happen that morning.”
A CBS affiliate in Rochester reported that the upstate bus driver has been requested by district officials to write a letter of apology to the affected children and their parents. Meanwhile, the school has issued a statement iterating their values after the incident.
The driver is being scolded for her lack of sensitivity and for conducting such a misled social experiment on young people. The election cycle has already been enough of a doozy. To punish and reward children for who they support politically, which likely mirrors their parents’ biases, is ridiculously unfair.

British PM's adviser shrugs off concerns about Brexit tensions
London: A senior adviser to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has dismissed concerns that politicians' heated rhetoric over Brexit is polarising society, telling supporters that it isn't surprising that people are upset about the country's failure to leave the European Union.
The prime minister has been accused of whipping up divisions with his charged language about Brexit opponents in the House of Commons this
But adviser Dominic Cummings told backers at a book launch that the only way to calm tensions over Brexit is for British lawmakers to respect the result of the 2016 referendum and take the country out of the European Union.
Cummings claimed that Britain's current political chaos is "a walk in the park" compared with the referendum campaign in which the country narrowly voted to leave the EU.
Three years later, Britain and its politicians remain bitterly divided over how, or even whether, to leave the 28-nation bloc.
"We are enjoying this," said Cummings, one of the architects of the 2016 "leave" campaign.
"We are going to leave and we are going to win."
In a raucous, ill-tempered parliamentary debate Wednesday, Johnson argued that he is safeguarding the will of the public against the interests of the political establishment, which wants to remain in the EU.
He said postponing the country's departure would "betray" the people, referred to an opposition law ordering a Brexit delay as the "Surrender Act" and brushed off concerns that his forceful language might endanger legislators as "humbug."
Bishops at the Church of England on Friday appealed for calm amid the growing acrimony.
"We should speak to others with respect," the bishops said in a statement. "And we should also listen ... We should not denigrate, patronise or ignore the honest views of fellow citizens, but seek to respect their opinions, their participation in society, and their votes."
Johnson, a Conservative, took power two months ago with a "do-or-die" promise that Britain will leave the EU on the scheduled date of October 31, with or without a divorce deal cushioning the economic consequences.
His foes in Parliament are determined to avoid a no-deal exit, which economists say would disrupt trade with the EU and plunge Britain into recession.
Concerns abound over how the country would adjust to the sudden shock. Britain's government watchdog says there is still a "significant amount" of work to do to ensure the country has an adequate supply of medical drugs in case of a no-deal Brexit.

Ciphers in CBC mode reveal place of change in plaintext
I'm not thinking of transmitting this data... It's about stored data. But that data might be sent to another device to sync with it. So you are saying I need a new IV for every encryption ?


As if the standard Nissan Juke is not weird enough, Japanese tuner Impul decided to add a bit more drama to it.
So with massive front spoiler lip, new grille, side steps, rear apron and a absolutely huge rear spoiler, here’s a funny-looking crossover for you! Of course fans of Japanese styling and tuning will find it to be a good job, handsome and sporty. But, it’s a matter of taste and I don’t think any Europeans or Americans like this sort of work.
The car’s 19-inch wheels are a nice touch though. And so is the engine upgrade through CU remapping which is available for both 1.5 and 1.6 liter engines.
And anyhow, it seems that Impul also offers the kit without those ridiculous spoilers, just the wheels and the grille. That one looks alright.

For over a decade, political leaders have been obsessed with test scores in reading, writing and math. In many jurisdictions, the scores have been used as the one and only measure of success in education. If our scores are up, the thinking goes, our education system is doing well, and our kids will be able to compete in the global economy.
But there may be a hidden danger in this narrow focus.
While the test scores are up, there has been a dramatic decline in the percentage of children who say they like to read. And reading enjoyment, or lack thereof, has an impact far beyond test scores. (And far beyond global competiveness, for that matter.)
Reading for Joy, a new report from People for Education, shows the percentage of Ontario children in grade 3 who report they “like to read” dropped from 75% in 1998/99 to 50% in 2010/11. The number of students in grade 6 who “like to read” fell from 65% to 50% in the same time period. The data comes from Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), which surveyed over 240,000 students in grades 3 and 6.
The report cites research from the OECD, which found that reading enjoyment not only affects students’ success in all subjects in school, but it also has an impact on students’ sense of social and civic engagement. Students who enjoy reading are more likely to read more and to seek deeper knowledge; consequently, they develop a deeper conceptual understanding of the subject matter.
So why are kids enjoying reading less? Television and computers may be part of the problem, but it is also possible that schools’ focus on the “mechanics” of reading, and on the skill rather than the pleasure, is driving students away.
Homework — or at least the kind of homework that can turn reading into a chore – also may be one of the culprits. There are things parents can do at home that encourage kids to become readers — but helping them with their “decoding” and “letter-sound correspondence” isn’t among them. Instead, we should be encouraging parents to simply read to their children — for fun. Reading to children is one of the top ways parents can support student success; and reading to kids — in any language — helps instil the joy of reading.
Teacher-librarians also have a role to play. A study conducted by Queen’s University and People for Education for the Ontario Library Association found that in elementary schools with teacher-librarians, students were more likely to report that they “like to read.” Sadly, the percentage of Ontario schools with teacher-librarians continues to decline — from 76% of elementary schools and 78% of secondary schools in 1998/99 to 56% and 66% respectively in 2010/11.
It’s time to make some changes in our schools. We need to start by expanding our definition of success in education. It’s not enough to focus only on targets for test scores in reading, writing and math, and it’s a mistake to think of education as merely skill acquisition that leads to work. The depth and breadth of our education affects us for the rest of our lives — our capacity to be engaged citizens, to be socially responsible, to understand ourselves and others, to be happy and to be successful in the broadest sense of the word. And reading permeates every aspect of education.
If the percentage of students who report they “like to read” were one of Ontario’s measures of success for our schools, we would be making changes to ensure that percentage was going up instead of down.
So instead of setting targets for test scores, let’s start setting targets for reading enjoyment. Let’s have schools with book clubs, thriving libraries and notes home that just say “Read to your kids — for the joy of it!”
Kids’ relationship with reading will affect the rest of their lives; it’s time to make sure that relationship is a happy one.

Colonization Patterns by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Dark Septate Endophytes in a Forest Ecosystem of the Municipality of Isidro Fabela, State of Mexico
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate endophytes (DSEF) have such an influence on plant development and on the edaphological characteristics and nutrients available in the soil that changes in these communities can drive modifications in the biotic and abiotic variables of an ecosystem, demonstrating the synergetic between species. Given its relevance, the objective of this work was to determine the status of colonization in the roots of three representative herbaceous species of the understory of a community of Abies religiosa (Kunth Schltdl. et Cham.) and Pinus harwegii (Lindl), and to contrast the coexistence of colonizers in three conservation-disturbance scenarios that exemplify the vulnerability situations of a forest ecosystem. A tripartite AMF-HESO-plant interaction is reported by the occurrence of coenocytic hyphae, vesicles, septate hyphae, moniliform cells, and sclerotia. The values of arbuscular mycorrhization exceed 50% and are higher than those found for endophytes (15.7-64.5%). The colonization of both types of fungi, such as AMF sporulation (687 spores 50 g-1 soil in the reforested area), seems to be related to the microclimatic conditions resulting from soil use. The edaphological variables that allow inferring the colonization behavior correspond mainly to available phosphorus, calcium, pH, organic matter, and cation exchange capacity. It is concluded that soil properties, its use, and the type of plants are determinant in the establishment of fungal communities. However, more studies on HESO-plant interaction are needed.

I was pissed because I believe in something that others do not. It really is just the reason why I get pissed off, why anybody gets pissed off, right? You can't persuade someone to share your opinion, and so you're pissed. It's really selfish of us right? Especially when we start looking for people who agree with us.
Anyway, here's my top 10:
- You shall love your neighbor as You love yourself.
- Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.
- PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. nufsed.
- Excuses are for LOSERS. Take responsibility.
- Gossiping and backstabbing are a double ended swords. Don't bother hurting yourself.
- Be careful who you betray. You don't know who you're dealing with
- Making others look and feel bad to make yourself feel good is like feeling great for a fire that's destroying your house
- If you have nothing to do but to talk behind other people's back, especially mine, then by all means, do continue. It's our pleasure to make you feel so wretchedly worked up inside
- I'm arrogant. Deal with it.
- Yes. I'm threatening YOU
I gotta work now so I can't give a long narrative of why these are my top 10. Maybe some other day?

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Fall is now upon us and the arrival of fall means that students and staff are settling into the rhythms of the school year. Part of the rhythm of school is enjoying annual events that celebrate our identity as a school, district and community. The month of October offers many events that enrich the culture of Merton Williams and contribute to the District’s vision to make our schools the heart of our community.
The first is the Merton Williams Open House on October 16 at 6:30 p.m. Open House is an annual fall tradition where parents are invited to meet teachers, learn about programs, and get a first-hand look at what Merton Williams students are doing in class. 7th grade parents will get a chance to put faces to names while getting a better sense of how middle school curriculum, instruction and assessment practices work. 8th grade parents will get to meet new teachers and learn about how course requirements change from 7th to 8th grade. Details on the program will be emailed and posted on our website later this month.
Open House falls right in the middle of Spirit Week this year. Student Council is organizing the daily events as well as preparing for the Homecoming Parade on Friday, October 17. The Homecoming Parade is a wonderful event that includes all of our schools and many local community groups. Beginning at Quest Elementary school at 5:45pm, the parade culminates at the High School. Following the parade is the annual Homecoming Football game that begins at 7pm in the newly renovated LeBeau Stadium. Bring your whole family to the parade and football game to cheer on our students and show your pride in being a Hilton Cadet!
One of the core beliefs of the International Baccalaureate’s Middle Years Programme is service to the community. This year Merton Williams students will have a number of opportunities to learn how to contribute to their school, village, town, and global communities. One of the first opportunities will be Saturday, October 25, for the annual community Make A Difference Day. This day of community volunteerism begins at the High School at 8:15am and lasts until noon. Students from every school participate in a variety of projects to assist residents and beautify our community. Every year the number of Merton Williams students participating increases, so encourage your son or daughter to sign up. Parent volunteers are welcome too!
The last event is not an annual one, but a very important one nonetheless because it effects the District’s efforts to have the International Baccalaureate’s Middle Years Programme authorized which will result in the Hilton CSD becoming the first public school district in New York State to be designated as an IB District! Representatives from IB will visit the district from October 27-29 to assess our progress toward full implementation of the Middle Years Programme. We are looking for volunteers from each school to serve on a Parent Focus Group that will meet with IB representatives to talk about the implementation process. If you are interested, please contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.org.
This month’s events are special because they offer many chances to stay involved in your child’s education in a variety of ways. Some people may say that parents of middle school students should not be as involved in their child’s education as they enter their teenage years. Don’t you believe a word of it! Parental involvement is more important than ever as your children grow older.
I look forward to seeing you at Open House and at Homecoming!

Socialization through physical activity: The role of parental behaviors
Parental participation means encouraging the child to participate in sports activities, buying sports equipment, chauffeuring the child to sports, paying club fees, watching competitions or children’s sports activities.
Parents can also play the role of a strong supporter. This support can be material, spiritual, emotional, informative, and it may even involve transporting the child to the practice area. Many studies see parental support as the most important facilitator for participation in physical activity.
The role of parents in modeling refers to their level of participation in organized sports activities. Parental involvement has a beneficial effect on the child’s sports participation because it is a sign of a shared interest between the parent and the child and the interaction between them.
Children whose parents are active and involved in sports are more likely to participate in sports. In this case, being a parent model can increase social competence, the opportunity to make mistakes, and shape identity through exercise.
The role of parents in sports participation will not always be beneficial. Low participation and over-participation can both have devastating effects. Low participation of parents causes the child to face a decrease in emotional and material support for participation in sports.
Excessive parental involvement and unrealistic expectations can also have devastating effects on a child’s planning, pressure and lack of opportunities for independence and autonomy
and contrary to expectations in today’s progressive and growing society, it causes stress, anxiety and depression, and eventually may lead to quitting sports.
The same can be said for parental modeling. Parents who are involved in various sports may not have enough time to support their child to participate in sports activities. Research shows that children whose parents play the role of coaches and push them to win are more likely to quit.
Read more about the impact of important people on a child’s sports participation by participating in physical activity and accepting their social role in the next note. This article is the fifth in a series of notes on the relationship between motor development and social adequacy of children and adolescents.

I’m Christine and I am a lifestyle, portrait & wedding photographer. I’m originally from Sydney, Australia with German & Japanese heritage but have called London home for 14 years. I learnt photography at school, studied journalism and worked in television for many years, but the very first wedding I shot was an elopement in New York in 2012 and since then there was no looking back. I’ve shot in all kinds of beautiful places such as Mauritius, Edinburgh, Munich, Rome, Australia and all across the UK. But I also love nothing better than shooting an urban London wedding.
On the days that I put my camera down, I like to explore London, travel, scuba dive, go on cycling adventures, make electronic music, listen to audiobooks and that kind of thing.
