AFTER imposing a double coding policy on La Trinidad jeepneys, Baguio City government will impose the same vehicle reduction scheme on Aurora Hill and Trancoville jeepneys.
The two jeepney associations have long been the subject of complaints from commuters, motorists, and fellow drivers.
Aurora Hill and Trancoville jeepneys are reported to be lording on Baguio’s streets by loading and unloading passengers anywhere they please. Recently, their associations have also been the subject of complaints by southbound jeepneys.
In the implementation of Governor Pack-UP Drive traffic scheme, Aurora Hill and Trancoville drivers have been accused of “stealing” passengers that were supposed to be ferried by Military Cut-off and PNR drivers.
The decision to impose the same policy is to show to La Trinidad commuters and drivers that erring jeepney associations within Baguio’s jurisdiction are also being dealt with.
“We want to show them we are fair,” Mayor Reinaldo Bautista Jr. said.
Bautista maintained that the double coding imposed on La Trinidad jeepneys that enter Baguio City greatly contributed to the unclogging of streets, especially Magsaysay Avenue.
Concrete barriers have recently been placed along Magsaysay Avenue at the Baguio Central University area to separate La Trinidad and Baguio jeepneys.
As adjustment, the City Government allowed loading and unloading, one trip policy at the Tabora Park.
However, the mayor lamented that the pick-and-go policy is still violated by La Trinidad jeepneys.
Bautista, meanwhile, said allowing the entry of jeeps via Bokawkan Road is no longer possible.
He said there is an ordinance that bars the entry of jeeps through Bokawkan Road, adding that only an amendment to the ordinance could make the entry of jeeps along the route possible.

View Full Version : Which are better, Sten or Soumi Mags
03-15-2007, 06:15 PM
I'm going to buy some 9mm mags for future projects, but am debating whether to go with Sten mags or Soumi stick mags.
Any input as to which are better, or is there really no differance as far as function?
This will be for a 9mm AK project with a fabricated magwell to fit whichever mag I decide to go with.
03-15-2007, 06:25 PM
Ive got about 20 Sten mags and the only issue I've had is that not all of them want to seat properly in the mag well but its an easy fix. The problem was with the mag catch so all I did was remove a small amount of material on the back of the mag with a dremel and then they worked fine. Do yourself a favor and get the mag loader for the sten mags. Makes it much easier.
03-15-2007, 07:14 PM
Sten mags are WWII surplus, well used items for the most part. They are single feed and require a loader to fill. Many Sten mags were "officially" modified to hold less ammo as they were known for jamming when full. Whether this is a problem related to the mag or the Sten, I have no clue as I do not own a Sten. Sten mags are a rectangle in shape, 9mm ammo tapers slightly. The Sten mag catch fits into a cutout on the side, making a stock type mag release a sideways pushbutton that can be activated with the thumb of the hand grasping the magazine. Lanchester 50 rd mags can be interchanged with Sten mags. Sten mags are dirt cheap, unsorted ones can often be purchased for a couple dollars, while hand picked often go for $7 and up.
Suomi stick mags, at least the ones I have bought from Tapco, appear to be brand new and never used, still packed in grease. They are a double feed mag that can be easily loaded by hand, although the last few rounds are a might tougher than the first. They are roughly triangular in shape, making the tapered 9mm cases sit better inside, at least to my thinking. The mag catch is a flapper type that catches at the rear of the mag, similar to the AK type. Can be easily manipulated with the thumb of the hand grasping a mag. Depending on magwell, the Suomi Drum mags and 50 rd "coffin" quad stack mags could also be used. Little more expensive than Sten mags, current going rate is on par with the Sten Hand Picked or a little more.
The Sten has had a reputation for jams, but several owners have reported replacing the mag springs solves most all problems.
The Suomi stick mags have been used in the Suomi, Karl Gustav, and S&W 76 subguns. I am not aware of any reliability complaints with the stick mags.
Which is "better"? You can do your own math, but when Tapco had the Suomis for $5 each I stocked up! I didn't buy any of their $2 Sten mags.
03-15-2007, 07:35 PM
I read that it wasn't the mag that caused the early STENS to jam, it was the magazine collar that could turn on the receiver tube. The later models were spot-welded in place.
03-15-2007, 09:04 PM
ive got about a dozen sten mags.... and some of them look new and are just junk!!
some are good some arent.... find a good few and junk the rest.
Soumis: got a bunch of those too. they do work pretty good will have to see if i can get one to work in my sten.
oh and yes sten mags are a bitch to load with out a loader!!! ouch, ouch ouch!!
03-15-2007, 09:38 PM
Where is a good source for soumi stick mags? I live near MGS and was going to swing over there and pick some up. They are around $9 each. Anybody have them cheaper?
03-18-2007, 09:57 PM
Centerfire has them a little cheaper...
BTW: my vote is for Suomi mags.
Kindof a neat thing about Suomi mags- the 36 rounders are double feed, the 50rd 'coffin mag' is single feed.
03-19-2007, 12:19 AM
I went ahead and picked up a couple Soumi mags the other day. While I was there I compared them to the Sten's. Night and day differance. The Soumi's are much better in every way, and they look brand new.
Next payday I'll go back and get some more.

This invention relates generally to engines and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for sensing pressure in combustion cylinders of reciprocating engines and combustion chambers of gas turbine engines.
Pressure within combustion cylinders and chambers of various types of engines impacts operation of such engines. For example, gas turbine engines typically include a compressor section, a combustor section, and at least one turbine section. The compressor compresses air, which is mixed with fuel and channeled to the combustor. The mixture is then ignited to generate hot combustion gases. The combustion gases are channeled to the turbine which extracts energy from the combustion gases for powering the compressor, as well as producing useful work to power a load such as an electrical generator or to propel an aircraft in flight.
Gas turbine engines operate in many different operating conditions, and combustor performance facilitates engine operation over a wide range of engine operating conditions. Controlling combustor performance facilitates improving overall gas turbine engine operations.
The environment within combustion cylinders and combustion chambers is harsh, which limits the types of pressure sensors that can be used. For example, temperature within the cylinders of internal combustion engines can reach over 1000° F. Known pressure sensors that utilize piezo-electric and piezo-resistive elements have limited life within such environment or require cooling, which increases the material and assembly costs for such engines.
Fiber optic based systems have been used in connection with sensing pressure in harsh environments. Producing reliable and robust sensors based on fiber optic materials, however, is challenging and has impacted widespread use of such sensors.
In one aspect, a method for determining a pressure utilizing a microwave radar based sensor is provided. The sensor is coupled to a signal conditioning unit. The signal conditioning unit includes at least one of a processor configured to determine a sensor value and a memory having pre-stored values therein, wherein the pre-stored values representing possible sensor values. The method includes operating the signal conditioning unit to sample a signal generated by the sensor, operating the signal conditioning unit to correlate a characteristic of the sampled signal to a pre-stored value having an assigned pressure, and operating the signal conditioning unit to generate a signal representative of the assigned pressure of the pre-stored value that is correlated to the sampled signal.
In another aspect, a pressure sensor is provided. The sensor includes a sensor body, a diaphragm mounted within the sensor body, and a channel extending from an open end of the sensor body to the diaphragm to directly expose the diaphragm to a pressure. The sensor further includes a microwave radar sensing unit secured to the sensor body. The sensing unit includes a head positioned a distance from the diaphragm.
In yet another aspect, a gas turbine engine is provided. The engine includes a compressor discharging a flow of air, and a combustor assembly positioned downstream from the compressor. The combustor includes at least one combustion chamber. A turbine is positioned downstream from the combustor. A pressure sensor is mounted to the combustor. The sensor includes a sensor body, a diaphragm mounted within the sensor body, and a channel extending from an open end of the sensor body to the diaphragm to directly expose the diaphragm to a pressure in the combustion chamber. A microwave radar sensing unit is secured to the sensor body. The sensing unit includes a head positioned a distance from the diaphragm.
The present invention is generally directed to a pressure sensor, and method of operating a pressure sensor, to generate a signal representative of pressure in harsh environments, such as in the combustion cylinder of a reciprocating engine and in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine. The present invention is described below in reference to its application in connection with and operation of a gas turbine engine. However, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art and guided by the teachings herein provided that the invention is likewise applicable in many different types of combustion devices including, without limitation, boilers, heaters and other turbine engines, and may be applied to systems consuming natural gas, fuel, coal, oil or any solid, liquid or gaseous fuel.
As used herein, references to “combustion” are to be understood to refer to a chemical process wherein oxygen, e.g., air, combines with the combustible elements of fuel, namely carbon, hydrogen and sulfur, at an elevated temperature sufficient to ignite the constituents.
In operation, air flows into engine 10 through compressor 12 and is compressed. Compressed air is mixed with fuel to form an air/fuel mixture that is channeled to combustor assembly 14 where the air/fuel mixture is ignited. Combustion products or gases from combustor assembly 14 drive rotating turbine 16 about shaft 18 and exits gas turbine engine 10 through an exhaust nozzle 22.
In the embodiment illustrated in
Generally, sensor 30 is mounted to a gas turbine engine so that diaphragm 34 is directly exposed to the pressure within an engine combustion chamber. External threads 38, for example, mate with threads of an opening in the chamber. The relative location of sensor 30 will vary depending on the application and design.
More particularly, and prior to normal operations, when the engine is not operating, sensing unit 50 is operated so that a zero pressure (or ambient pressure) reading is obtained from sensor 30. The magnitude of the signal from sensor 30 (which is representative of the distance between diaphragm and sensor head) at zero pressure is stored in signal conditioning unit 50. The engine is then operated at known combustion chamber pressures and sensor signals are obtained by signal conditioning unit 50 under such known pressures. Specifically, under known operating conditions, diaphragm 34 deflects in a linear manner when exposed to atmospheres of varying pressure. The degree of the linearity of diaphragm 34 contributes to the accuracy of sensor 30. The output of microwave radar sensor 30 is in proportion to the distance between sensor head 46 and a surface of diaphragm 34. In the exemplary embodiment, sensor 30 is calibrated using known pressures in the factory. Alternatively, and particularly if variation due to the environment cannot be replicated in the factory, sensor 30 may be calibrated on engines or combustors in the field, wherein at known operating pressures, the sensor unit signal is stored (e.g., the magnitude of the sensor signal) and correlated to the known pressure.
During engine operation, signal conditioning unit 50 is operated to sample the signal generated by sensor 30. Signal conditioning unit 50 is also operated to correlate a characteristic of the sampled signal to the pre-stored values having assigned pressures. Specifically, the magnitude (or some other characteristic) of the sensor signal is determined and matched to the determined magnitude to the pre-stored values. Signal conditioning unit 50 is further operated to generate a signal representative of the assigned pressure of the pre-stored value that is correlated to the sampled signal. This generated signal may be used, for example, to display the assigned pressure to an operator and/or to control engine operations.
In this manner, during operations of the gas turbine, both static and dynamic pressure values can be determined. The bandwidth of the pressure measurement is determined by the bandwidth of the microwave radar sensor and the diaphragm.
Similar, if not identical, sensor configurations and calibration can be performed in order to use sensor in connection with other types of engines. The sensor and sensor operation are not limited to the specific embodiments described herein.
While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.

ERNEST "COWBOY" SMITH,


THE Roma pool is a popular place to be right now, as the mercury rises to above 40 degrees Celsius.
Today the temperature hit 43°C in Roma and tomorrow it's set to hit 41°C.
Mitchell will be even hotter, with a top of 42°C, while Surat and Yuleba are also set to reach 41°C.
There's not going to be much relief in the next few days, with top temperatures across the Maranoa set to stay over 40°C until Monday.
The heat is being felt across the country and yesterday was Australia's hottest combined maximum on record with an average national temperature of 40.33°C.
Meteorologist Melissa MacKellar said today was the hottest day recorded in Roma since November 2006, with a high of 43°C.
"Over the past few weeks, temperatures have been building inland across the country," Ms MacKellar said. "The heat is due to a lack of cloud cover causing rising sea temperatures and a low pressure trough which is crossing over from South Australia."
Ms MacKellar said the heat wave was the same one that hit Perth last month, causing the city's hottest December day ever recorded.
"There's also low humidity which increases the fire danger in the area," Ms MacKellar said.
Queensland Fire and Rescue officer Phil Young said the fire warning was between "very high" to "extreme".
He warned people were not to light fires, unless they had a permit.
"Also make sure to check the four-day forecast as conditions on the permit are for the life of the fire, not the permit," Mr Young said.
"You must make sure the life of the fire does not exceed the permit."
Ms MacKellar said people should stay hydrated and avoid going out in the sun where possible.
- Stay inside in the air-con during the hottest part of the day, or visit a local café, shopping centre, or movie theatre.
- While you're out, keep the curtains shut to stop your home heating up.
- Icy polls are always a cooling treat for kids.
- Put a wet Chux in the freezer for a few hours, it makes a great neck cooler.
- If you like to exercise, go out later in the evening or early in the morning.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol, as these promote dehydration.
- Go for a swim in your local pool.
Make sure to check on elderly friends or neighbours.

The findings concluded there is a significant relationship between the knowledge and practice of breast feeding among nursing mothers. The study also concluded that the practice of breast feeding among nursing mothers in Esan central local government area is low .
Breastmilk is a natural food that is being secreted from the mother’s breast. It contains all the essential nutrients in their correct proportion. Such nutrients as protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, leukocytes which helps in fighting infection, it also contains enzymes, hormones that cannot be added to infant formula. Breastmilk is ultimately the best source of nutrition for a new bornbaby. Many components in breastmilk help protect the baby against infectious diseases. The proteins in breastmilk are easily digested than in infant formula or cow’s milk(e.g. NAN). Human milk contains two types of proteins: whey and casein. Approximately 60% is whey while 40% is casein. This balance of the proteins allows for quick and easy digestion. Artificial milk, also called infant formula, has a greater percentage of casein, which makes it more difficult for the baby to digest. Approximately 60-80% of all protein in human milk is whey protein (World Health Organisation (WHO),2008). These proteins have great infection-protection properties.Examples of proteins found in Breast milk are: Lactoferrin, Secretory IgA, Lysozyme and Bifidus factor, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins(WHO, 2008).
Some women ultimately are not able to breastfeed, lactation consultants are able to provide support to women learning to breastfeed. For those who are not able to breastfeed, milk banks or donor milk may be an alternative (World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), 2014).
The World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children Emergency Fund (2003) emphasizes that the nutrients are quickly and easily digested and absorbed in the body system of infants. Breastfeeding practice is carried out worldwide in order to fulfill the World Health Organization(WHO) and United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) recommendation that infants be breastfed exclusively for six months and thereafter until 24 months (WHO, 2009).
Breastfeedingis recognized as the preferred form of infant nutrition by the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP). The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), Infants who are breastfed experience nutritional and developmental advantages that enhance their health throughout their lives. The choice to breastfeed conveys health benefits to the mother as well. Breastfeeding also has beneficial impact on the family as well as savings for our society. Several studies have established that education and support for pregnant women can dramatically increase breastfeeding rates (Arora, McJunkin, Weher, & Kuhn, 2000).
Mothers who breastfeed their children are rewarded with a lengthy list of benefits. Breastfed children exhibit greater resistance to infectious disease and stronger immune systems than their infant formula fed peers. They also experience lower rates of chronic diseases. There is a lower rate of infectious diseases among breastfed babies. The explanation for this enhanced resistance to diseases can be found in the biology of human milk. When a lactating mother is exposed to an infectious agent, her mature immune system begins to produce secretory immunoglobulin A [S-IgA], a compound that is the primary disease fighter in the human immune system (Cunningham, 1995). This substance is secreted into the mother’s breastmilk and consumed by her nursing baby. The child’s own immune system may also be producing S-IgA. The consumption of the mother’s S-IgA not only provides active resistance to diseases, it also stimulates the production of additional S-IgA in the infant, resulting in stronger immune responses among breastfed infants than in their formula fed peers (Cunningham, 1995).
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in the first six months of life is recognized as an indispensable component of survival, physical and mental development of children (Lancet, 2008). The period from birth to two years of age is a “critical window” for the promotion of optimal growth, health, and behavioral development. Some of the consequences of poor nutrition during the first two years of life include significant illnesses, delayed mental and physical development or even death. Numerous factors have been identified as impediments to proper nutrition and infant feeding habits. Important among them is poverty and lack of adequate information and support on good feeding practices, especially exclusive breast feeding(EBF) which is for the first six months of life (Lancet, 2008).
Exclusive breast feeding (EBF) for the first 6 months of lifeand continued breastfeeding through the second year of life in addition to safe as well as adequate and age appropriate complementary feeding from 6 to 24 months were recommended(WHO, 2008). Worldwide, it is estimated that only 34.8% of infants are exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life, the majority receiving some other food or fluid in the early months, complementary foods are often introduced too early or too late andis often nutritionally inadequate and unsafe (WHO, 2009). It is no longer a doubt that breast feeding is essential component of children’s survival and healthy living, hence the knowledge and practice of breast feeding among nursing mother is very important.
Statement of the problem
In Nigeria, breast feeding practice is a major aspect of infant feeding but exclusive breastfeeding practice is poor (National Demographic Health Survey (NDHS), 2008). Despite the fact that 98% of under 5 children were ever breastfed at sometime, 13% of children below 6 months are breastfed exclusively and complimentary food are introduced early in life while only 10% of children are fed appropriately based on recommended infant and young child feeding practice (NDHS, 2008).
The researcher observed that in Esan Central Local Government Area of Edo State, breast feeding practice does not translate to the optimum, that is water, infant formula, pap are often mixed complemented with breast feeding before six months and that these infant are not also breast fed up to 24 months. This practice does not translate to the recommended practice by WHO (2008), which said that infant be breastfed exclusively for six months from birth and that the breast milk be complemented until the infant is 24 months.
This practice could be influenced by the knowledge of breastfeeding among the nursing mothers. Hence the need to explore these findings to test the knowledge and practice of breast feeding among nursing these nursing mothers in Esan central local government area of Edo State to enable the researcher close the gap of this practice.
1. What is the knowledge of breast feeding among nursing mothers in Esan central local government area?
2. What are the levels of breast feeding practice among nursing mothers in Esan central local government area?
3. What is the relationship between the knowledge and practice of breast feeding among nursing mothers in Esan central local government area?
The hypotheses was formulated and tested at 0.5 level of significance
There is no significant relationship between the knowledge and practice of breast feeding among nursing mothers in Esan central local government area.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and practice of breastfeeding among nursing mothers in Esan Central Local Government Area.
This study will be based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA). The theory of reasoned action was developed by Martin Fishbein and IcekAjzen in 1967 and was derived from previous research that began as the theory of attitude. The theory aims to explain the relationship between attitudes and behaviors within human action. TRA is used to predict how individuals will behave based on their pre-existing attitudes and behavioral intentions. An individual's decision to engage in a particular behavior is based on the outcomes the individual expects as a result of performing the behavior(Rogers Gillmore, Mary; Archibald, Matthew; Morrison, Diane; Wilsdon, Anthony; Wells, Elizabeth; Hoppe, Marilyn; Nahom, Deborah; Murowchick, Elise,2002). The ideas found within the theory of reasoned action have to do with an individual's basic motivation to perform an action. TRA says that a person's intention to perform a behavior is the main predictor of whether or not they actually will perform that behavior. According to the theory, intention to perform a certain behavior precedes the actual behaviour (IcekAjzen; Madden, Thomas, 1986). This intention is known as behavioral intention and comes as a result of a belief that performing the behavior will lead to a specific outcome. Behavioral intention is important to the theory because these intentions "are determined by attitudes to behaviors and subjective norms" (Colman, 2015). The theory of reasoned action suggests that stronger intentions lead to increased effort to perform the behaviour, which also increases the likelihood for the behaviour to be performed.
This theory as it relates to breast feeding, the act of breast feeding is an attitudinal display of the behavioral intention. Breast feeding is a social norm that is approved world wide. The breast feeding practice may be facilitated by some factors such as good family support, education, while it can be impeded by lack of education mothers returning to work, lack of family support (Chye, Zain& Lim, 1997).
Most mothers especiallyprimigravida are often faced with perceived behavioral control. This is because they have not engaged in such an activity before (Fairer Brother & Stranger Ross, 2009).Breast feeding behavior is planned right from the ante natal clinic when the nurse, lactation consultant, nutritionist hold incessant sessions with the women pre and after birth emphasizing on the mother’s confidence and verdict to breast feed. Harmonization of formal group which includes the nurse, lactation consultant, nutritionist and informal group which includes the husband, mother, relatives and community support providers should be in progress prenatally and postnatally for preferred results (Vari, 2000).
Concept of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is a natural process of infant feeding involving two main methods; exclusive and partial with the latter being most trendy. Nevertheless, exclusivity is the absolute and suitable scheme. However, a good mental, emotional and physical collaboration between the mother and her newborn is required desired outcome (Khresheh, 2011). Breast milk consists of basic nutrients containing proteins, vitamins, fats, minerals and carbohydrate.
Lactoferrin inhibits the growth of iron-dependent bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. This inhibits certain organisms, such as coliforms and yeast that require iron.Secretory IgA also works to protect the infant from viruses and bacteria, specifically those that the baby, mother and family are exposed to. It also helps to protect against E. coli and possibly allergies. Other immunoglobulins, including IgG and IgM, in breast milk also help protect against bacterial and viral infections. Eating fish can help increase the amount of these proteins in your breast milk.Lysozomeis an enzyme that protects the infant against E. coli and Salmonella. It also promotes the growth of healthy intestinal flora and has anti-inflammatory functions.Bifidus factorsupports the growth of lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is a beneficial bacteria that protects the baby against harmful bacteria by creating an acidic environment where it cannot survive.
Fats inhuman milk also contain fats that are essential for the health of your baby. It is necessary for brain development, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and is a primary calorie source. Long chain fatty acids are needed for brain, retina, and nervous system development. They are deposited in the brain during the last trimester of pregnancy. The amount and types of vitamins in breast milk is directly related to the mother’s vitamin intake. This is why it is essential that she gets adequate nutrition. Fat-soluble vitamins including vitamins A, D, E and K, are all vital to infant’s health.
Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid are also essential. Because of the need for these vitamins, many healthcare providers and lactation consultants will have nursing mothers continue on prenatal vitamins. While lactose is the primary carbohydrate found in human milk. It accounts for approximately 40% of the total calories provided by breast milk. Lactose helps to decrease a large number of unhealthy bacteria in the stomach, which improves the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. It helps to fight disease and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the stomach.
However, presence of minerals fulfills micronutrient needs and maternal antibodies improves the immune system inhibiting infantile infections like gastrointestinal, respiratory and skin infections and increases physical and neurological growth of the baby.
There is increased production of hormones that are responsible for uterine contraction e.g. oxytocin, preventing hemorrhage and maternal mortality. Lactation amenorrhea is mentioned as a natural contraceptive benefactor following exclusivity,on the other hand, breast cancer and ovarian cancer risk prospects are reduced with weight loss following exclusive breastfeeding; also prevention of early cardiac morbidity and mortality (Fairbrother& Stranger-Ross, 2009). During 1940s, exclusive breastfeeding was a communal tradition in all corners of the globe; subsequent to the World War II, there was a reduction and conversion to modern trend in the use of fabricated formula milk particularly in the western world. The use of infant formula became inevitable as it started to become widespread despite the advice from World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) which recommends exclusive infant breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continuing up to two years of age and beyond (Coates, 2007).
Breastfeeding is the normal, natural way to feed infants and is part of laying the foundation for a healthy life from infancy and childhood. Breast milk is easily absorbed, has a low solute load and an increased availability of minerals, vitamins, and proteins. It has been estimated that exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) reduces infant mortality rates by up to 13% in low-income countries(Jones, Steketee, Black, Bhutta& Morris, 2003).Stuebe(2009) indicated that breastfed infants have fewer ear and respiratory tract infections, diarrhea illnessesand atopic skin disorders. Early introduction of breast milk substitution for cow’s milk has been shown to increase the risk of type 1 diabetes later in life (Sandanskaitte, Ludvigason, Padaiga, Jasinskiene& Samuelsson, 2004). The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that infants be fed exclusively on breast milk from birth to six months of age. While exclusive breastfeeding rate is on the increase globally and in sub-Saharan Africa, it has continuously been on the decline in Nigeria. The Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey as it is reported by UNICEF (2008) estimated the level of exclusive breastfeeding in the country at 13% which is a drop from the 17% estimated in 2003. Nigeria has poor nutritional indices which indicate 14% low birth weight, 13% EBF, 14% stunting and 27% underweight (Ogbonaya&Aminu, 2013). Nigeria comes third after India and China in the world list of greatest number of undernourished children and is currently one of the two African countries listed among the twenty responsible for the 80% of global malnutrition. Malnutrition is particularly severe in the Northern region of the country (UNICEF, 2009). Complementary feeding is defined as the process of starting additional food to breast milk when breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet the nutritional requirements of infants, and therefore other foods and liquids are needed, along with breast milk. It is recommended that complementary foods (solid or semisolid foods fed to infants in addition to breast milk) should be introduced at age 6 months (WHO, 2003). This is necessary because breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet the nutritional requirement for the infant from 6 months hence affect their optimum growth and development. Inadequate knowledge about appropriate complementary foods and feeding practices is often a greater determinant of malnutrition than lack of food (WHO, 2003).

From the international bestselling author of Secret Daughter and The Golden Son comes a poignant, unforgettable novel about a family's growing apart and coming back together in the wake of tragedy. The Olander family enjoys the best that life can offer. Though Keith and Jaya come from very different backgrounds-she is the cultured daughter of an Indian diplomat, he grew up in middle-class Philadelphia-they have built a strong and successful marriage on love and their shared ambition and beliefs. They adore their two children: serious, intelligent thirteen-year-old Karina and Prem, their happy, outgoing eight-year-old son and the light of the Olander house. But wealth and love cannot protect them from a sudden, unspeakable tragedy. Devastated by grief, the family's foundation cracks as each member struggles to find a way forward. Jaya turns to religion, immersing herself in meditation and prayer.

And Prem watches helplessly as his once warm, close-knit family grows farther apart. As the years pass, the distance between the Olanders crystalizes. Then a second crisis arises, forcing them to confront questions they have long avoided: What is important? How do we show love? And what does it mean to be a family? Compassionate, heartbreaking, wise, and profoundly moving, The Seekers is a story of one family, four individuals, and the myriad choices that can separate us and bind us together.

Plantains are part of the banana family and look similar in appearance, but compared to bananas, plantains are far starchier and contain less sugar. Therefore, they take longer time to ripen.
Fruits undergoing ripening stage produce a gas known as Ethylene. Ethylene is the fruit-ripening hormone and the production rate may differ depending on the fruit or environment it is subjected to. Ethylene releases the flavour and sugars within the fruit, allowing the fruit to soften and also change colour.
Plantains ripen best in a warm and well-ventilated place. When left undisturbed, they generally take about two weeks to ripen or even up to four weeks in some cases.
Sometimes, we crave for plantain delicacies and can't bear wait for weeks before it reopens. There are lots of hacks to speed up the ripening process. However, some of this hacks are unhealthy and dangerous to our health.
How to Quickly Ripen Plantains
1. The best way to quickly ripen plantains for cooking is by using the Paper Bag Method.
The bunch is partially sealed in a paper bag and kept away for a few days, sometimes within 24 to 48 hours.
The paper bag confining space allows ethylene to build up and increase its circulation. Adding a ripened fruit like apple or banana can hasten ripening as they release more ethylene than the unripe ones. You know, there's a saying that one apple can spoil the whole basket.
Keeping them in warm places like beside the fridge or in the cupboard can also help.
2. Using the Oven or Microwave is super-fast.
With an oven set at 300°F, the plantain can become edible within 15 to 30 minutes. The peel would have turned shining black by then.
The microwave can also be used. The peel is poked on all side with a fork and microwaved in 30 seconds interval until it softens. The plantain will become edible although, it will still taste unripe.
3. Cooking by Poaching.
Cooking food items in simmering liquid is known as poaching. It's quite a good method too as it softens the flesh of the plantain and brings out it flavour. It is usually used in making special recipes
4. One of the most refuted and disliked method of hastening the ripening of plantain or other fruits is by using chemicals such as carbide.
Plantains are usually wrapped in paper bags, nylons or sacks with carbide in them. After 24 hours, the peels are seen to appear yellow with brown in some parts. But on proper examination, the fleshy part is still hard and is partially glued to the peel, it tastes unripe and easily rot afterwards.

Went to my first festival of the Summer on Saturday at Lanhydrock in Cornwall. Only a one-dayer, but a truly beautiful location. Couple of local bands to start off with, highlight of which were the Wire Daisies, followed by an African band called Zambuca or something. I'm not really into African music and I swear they just played the same song 15 times.
Then came crusty rockers The Levellers, who were good for a laugh. But the highlight for me was seeing the legendary Wailers (as in Bob Marley and the...), who were simply magnificent. We were lucky with the weather and I shall certainly be going back next year.
Here are a couple of photos!

Chattanooga is at an increased risk for motorcycle gang violence in the wake of the May 17 shootout between rival motorcycle gangs in Waco, Texas, which left nine dead, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The shootout in Texas heightened tensions between the nation's outlaw motorcycle gangs and increased the number of motorcycle gang members who are out on the roads, bureau special agent Michael Knight said.
Because Chattanooga is at a crossroads in the South -- on the way to Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville and the East Coast -- it's likely that some of the bikers from other states will pass through Chattanooga, he said. And that could spell trouble because the gangs involved in the shootout in Texas are rivals to Chattanooga's primary outlaw motorcycle gang, the Outlaws MC, Knight said.
"Whenever you have an incident like this, the support clubs will become more known," he said. "They're going to show force, they're going to be out more, they're going to show a presence. And that presence could be intimidating to the public, or it could be to intimidate other clubs."
Violence is possible whenever rival outlaw motorcycle gang members cross into each other's territories, he said, especially after an event like the Waco shootout.
"Bikers don't fly, they ride," Knight said. "So it's not uncommon, if they're leaving from Texas, to drive all the way to the East Coast, going through Tennessee. The concern is that those individuals who are riding from state to state, if they go through Chattanooga, they'll be going through the territory of one of their rivals."
Knight estimated there are a few dozen people involved in outlaw motorcycle gangs in Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Police Department has validated 10 people as confirmed members of outlaw motorcycle gangs, communications coordinator Kyle Miller said.
Outlaw motorcycle gangs, defined by the U.S. Department of Justice as "highly structured criminal organizations whose members engage in criminal activities such as violent crime, weapons trafficking and drug trafficking," have members across the United States.
But the vast majority of the nation's gang members belong to street gangs, not motorcycle gangs, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Only about 2.5 percent of all U.S. gang members are in outlaw motorcycle gangs. Still, a 2013 FBI survey found that the gangs are more of a threat than their low membership numbers imply.
"This is likely due to their solid organizational structure, criminal sophistication and their tendency to employ violence to protect their interests," the FBI's 2013 National Gang Report reads.
Outlaw motorcycle gangs in Chattanooga are nothing new: a rivalry between two outlaw motorcycle gangs was blamed for a truck bombing in Dalton, Ga., in 2007. And in 2010, local and federal authorities completed a two-and-a-half-year undercover operation and indicted 15 members of Chattanooga's Outlaws MC on drug and gun charges.
That operation quieted Chattanooga's Outlaws MC members for a while, Knight said, but they've since rebuilt with new members and new leaders.
Knight emphasized that citizens should not try to confront members of outlaw motorcycle gangs.
"The public may see the bikers wear their colors, their patches, and if they're concerned, they should notify law enforcement right away," he said. "They should not, not take action into their own hands."
Not all motorcycle clubs are involved in criminal activity, Knight added.
"We're very conscientious not to put all those together," he said. "Just because you are a biker club doesn't mean you have a violent criminal past or present."
Nate Mayo, a member of the Hamilton County Roughnecks Motorcycle Club, said all members in his club are law-abiding citizens. But he's seen a clear change in the way people approach him when he is wearing his motorcycle club wear since the shootout in Waco, he said.
"We get more looks," he said. "The public is looking at people with motorcycle patches and thinking they're bad guys or they're in a biker gang. But a motorcycle club is not necessarily a gang. And that is something we want everyone to know."
The Roughnecks Motorcycle Club is made up of people who are retired from law enforcement, firefighting or the military, Mayo said, and they often raise money for charity and hold toy drives for children.
Mayo serves as the chapter chaplain.
"So, my back may have crossed pistols on it, but my front has scripture and a cross on my chest," he said.

Derby County assistant manager Paul Simpson believes Manchester United loanee Jesse Lingard deserves more praise for his contribution at Pride Park.
Lingard joined Derby at the end of the winter transfer window and has gone on to make 13 appearances for the Rams.
However, Darren Bent and Tom Ince have stolen the headlines from the youngster following some impressive performances.
Simpson has been delighted with Lingard and believes the 22-year-old is deserving of as much praise as Bent and Ince.
“His performances have been good and he has got a few goals as well. You have to use the loan system well – there’s a chance it could go soon – so while it is here it is important to make the most of it.”
Lingard, who signed a new contract at Man United before leaving for Derby, has also received praise from Louis van Gaal this season.
The Dutchman clearly rates Lingard having started him in his first competitive game in charge of United against Swansea City. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury in that match which curtailed his progress but he will undoubtedly make an impact when he comes back to Old Trafford next term.

Ross King is a British historian and writer who has arranged his life so as to spend as much time as possible in Florence. He has written five books about the city's history and art, and the two I have read are very fine. The Bookseller of Florence (2021) is not as delightful as Brunelleschi's Dome; it is too long and has too much detail about things like theological debates and the incomprehensible politics of Renaissance Italy. But it is deep and rich, and it set me thinking.
Reading this book is not like reading any book I know about the Middle Ages. It is more detailed about people's lives, words, conversations, arguments, and scandals. It creates in a marvelous way a sense of a place and a circle of people. It carried me away to Bookseller's Street to watch and listen to the scholars of Florence chattering and debating. I love the Middle Ages, but I do not know a book that makes any group of medieval people live in the way that this book does. Why?
Is it just that the records for 15th-century Florence are better and more detailed than those for any earlier time? Or was there something about the era that made this story more understandable and approachable for a modern reader than any book about chivalry or crusading could be? Or is it maybe that modern historians just write differently about "the Renaissance" than they do about "the Middle Ages"?
The 1400s were not really all that different from the 1200s. The European economy was still mainly about growing grain, making wine, salting fish, and raising sheep for wool. The population was smaller than it had been at its pre-plague peak, although Italy and Florence in particular seem to have recovered much more quickly than England or Scandinavia. Slow technological change in fields like shipbuilding, ceramics, metallurgy and chemistry had not yet transformed much of anything. The most forward-looking development of the period covered by King's book was probably the founding of a sugar colony on the island of Madeira, which happened in the 1420s, and which drew hardly any attention outside of Portugal. King's book focuses on intellectual life, and there was little new in fifteenth-century philosophy. Florentines were passionate about recovering manuscripts from the classical world, and they made heroes of men like Poggio Braccioloni who made major discoveries; but this had been going on for 300 years and we also know the names of men who went to Muslim Spain to copy Greek manuscripts in Toledo. Florentine philosophy was all about recovering, understanding, and intepreting Aristotle and Plato, and there was nothing original about that.
Poggio Braccioloni, cast of a statue by Donatello
Yet the atmosphere King sketches feels utterly new. The Bookseller of Florence focuses on Vespasiano da Bisticci (1422-1498), who rose from a humble bookstore clerk to become Europe's top dealer of high end, hand-copied books. Even as a barely illiterate clerk he attracted the attention of Florence's most learned men; he seems to have been the sort of enthusiastic student no teacher could resist. In his life he was part of two separate and quite distinct intellectual circles. In his youth he hung around the fringes of a a group the included the manuscript hunter Poggio, the architect Brunelleschi, the sculptor Donatello, the collector and classicist Niccolo Niccoli, the Greek scholar Francesco Filelfo, and Leonardo Bruni, a Latin scholar who became Chancellor of Florence.
These men liked to discuss philosophy while strolling back and forth along the Street of Booksellers, and when it rained they somtimes brought their arguments into the shop where Vespasiano worked. (Now a pizzeria, King tells us.) At other times they strolled under the Pisan Loggia. They all believed in the superiority of ancient learning and the desperate need to find, preserve and copy ancient manuscripts before they disappeared.
An interesting part of King's story concerns a bit of church history. In 1438, with the fall of Constantinople to the Turks looming, a council was held to see if the 400-year-old rift between the eastern and western churches could be healed, allowing Christendom to pool its resources against the Infidel. Dozens of eastern bishops and scholars arrived in Italy, and months of theological wrangling followed. The Italians were chagrined to discover that the manuscripts they had of early Greek theologians were in many cases corrupt, having been altered to support Catholic teaching. This, says King, reinforced for the Italians the need to find, not just one manuscript of an ancient author, but more, better, and older manuscripts, so that the original texts could be reconstructed. For the next century Italians scoured the libraries of old Orthodox monasteries, now mostly under the rule of the Turks, bringing home many ancient treasures.
Later on Vespasiano joined a different circle associated with Lorenzo de Medici and the philosopher Marsilio Ficino. New manuscripts continued to appear, including the complete dialogues of Plato (at least, all the ones we have) and the strange Hermetica supposedly written by the mythical Hermes Trismegistus. There was much intellectual excitement in Florence, although none of it much impresses modern thinkers. You can judge the depth of Ficino's thinking from his book on Plato, which argued that every word of Plato's books corresponds so perfectly with Catholic doctrine that he must have been divinely inspired. But although I don't find their ideas very interesting, it is fascinating to read detailed accounts of their get-togethers at Ficino's country villa, where they sat on the veranda and argued over the immortality of the soul and whether Christianity and ancient philosophy could really be reconciled.
In his maturity Vespasiano was often called the Prince of Booksellers. For clients that included kings and popes he produced beautiful, accurate manuscripts, mainly of the Roman classics but sometimes religious works or modern writers like Dante. He started as a bookbinder but he very quickly gave up doing any such labor himself and focused on organizing the process. Through his scholarly connections he obtained the best available manuscripts to work from. He then hired a scribe to do the writing – often one of the underemployed priests who were such a feature of Catholic Europe – supplying him or her with parchment and ink. If the author or translator was not available to check the text he often hired a poor scholar to do so. He then passed the pages to illustrators and illuminators, and then to binders. If all went well he kept about 20 percent of the selling price. This earned him a living but did not make him rich, and it says something about the society of Florence that the former bookbinder Vespasiano participated in dicussions with Lorenzo de Medici and his inner circle of intellectual friends.
King devotes a lot of attention to the rise of printing, which appeared in Florence in the 1450s. At first this had little impact on Vespasiano's business. By that time he was mainly selling to the very wealthy, who considered printed books vulgar. (Sales of luxury manuscripts remained strong into the 1500s, and King mentions one noble collector who owned some printed books but kept them locked in a closet where no visitors to his library would see them.) But slowly things changed, and by the 1470s printed books were taking over more and more of the market. Vespasiano retired in 1480, bemoaning that great scholars of Florence were all dead and the beautiful art of making books by hand was being destroyed.
Vespasiano's career, as laid out by King, raises this question: were 15th-century Florentines different from the people of a century or two before? Much of what we know about the circles Vespasiano moved in comes from a book he wrote, The Lives of 103 Illustrious Men. These were all men Vespasiano knew, only a handful of them considered "illustrious" by modern historians. A few would be otherwise almost completely unknown, just names in the civic records. This brings me back to the question of why we know so much about the artists and thinkers of "the Renaissance." Partly this is because Florence was never sacked or bombed and its civic records survive remarkably intact. But even more it is because the people of 15th-century Florence considered themselves supremely important and worked hard to preserve the memory of themselves and their friends. They could not stop writing about themselves. Mostly because of the glorious art, later centuries often agreed with their self-assessment, and so preserved all of their work. Vespasiano's book, for example, has been translated into more than a dozen languages and printed in hundreds of editions.
Like other Florentine authors, Vespasiano also had an expansive idea of what we might want to know about his illustrious men. He lists their accomplishments, yes, but he also tried to capture their personalities and their manner of speaking. We know much more about people like Brunelleschi and Poggio than we do about Charlemagne, because no one who knew Charlemange bothered to write down the sort of things we want to know about him. Nobody ever wrote about why Charlemagne did anything, but Vespasiano tells us extensively why Brunelleschi wanted to be an architect, why he left Florence, why he returned, and why he refused to write down the details of how he built his dome.
How much does this shift in how people saw themselves matter? Does it represent the rise of a new, "modern" self-consciousness and sense of self worth, something different from the pride of medieval nobles? Or was it just a small shift in personal style, a literary fad?
Was it, as the Florentines thought, a return to an ancient appreciation of personality, as we see for example in Plutarch? Or was it new?
These are hard questions, but The Bookseller of Florence is a very pleasant way to approach them. In fact you can enjoy it without worrying over such things at all; I'm just the sort of person who likes to ponder.

The Psychology of Slot88: How Sound, Visuals, and Design Influence Gameplay
In recent years, the popularity of slot machine games has skyrocketed, both in land-based casinos and online platforms. Despite the simplicity of their gameplay, slots offer an immersive experience that keeps players engaged for extended periods. This article explores the psychology behind Slot88, focusing on how sound, visuals, and design elements influence gameplay. By understanding these psychological strategies, we can gain insights into the mechanics that make Slot88 so captivating.
Sound plays a crucial role in creating an atmosphere that enhances the gaming experience. Slot88 games employ a variety of audio cues to engage players and keep them entertained. The repetitive jingles, celebratory tunes, and the sound of coins cascading down all trigger pleasure centers in the brain, releasing dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.
The audio effects also help to establish a rhythm, providing a sense of accomplishment when a player wins. The anticipation built by suspenseful sounds during near-misses can be equally enticing, encouraging players to continue playing in the hopes of hitting a jackpot. The constant stream of sound effects maintains a state of heightened arousal, keeping players engaged and hooked on the game.
The visual design of Slot88 games is carefully crafted to captivate players and keep them immersed. Game developers utilize vibrant colors, flashing lights, and attractive symbols to catch the attention of potential players. The use of specific color combinations, such as red and gold, is psychologically linked to luck and success, making the game more appealing.
Furthermore, Slot88 games often incorporate themes from popular culture, such as movies, TV shows, or video games, triggering a sense of nostalgia and familiarity. The visuals transport players to different worlds, allowing them to escape reality and become fully engrossed in the game.
Every aspect of the game’s design, from the layout of the buttons to the speed of the spins, is carefully crafted to maximize player engagement. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to understand and navigate through the game, eliminating any potential frustration. The simplicity of the gameplay and the quick pace with which the reels spin create a sense of excitement and action, keeping players entertained.
Additionally, Slot88 games employ various strategies to promote a sense of progression and accomplishment. These include unlocking new levels, earning achievements, and offering bonuses and rewards. The feeling of advancement and the satisfaction that comes with it motivates players to continue playing and investing their time and money into the game.
1. Are online Slot88 games manipulative?
While Slot88 games are designed to be captivating, it is important to remember that responsible gaming is key. Developers employ psychological strategies to make games more engaging, but players should always set limits and gamble responsibly.
2. Do Slot88 games use subliminal messaging?
No, Slot88 games do not use subliminal messaging. All the psychological techniques employed are consciously designed to enhance the gaming experience and engagement.
3. Are the outcomes in Slot88 games predetermined?
No, Slot88 games use random number generators (RNG) to determine outcomes. Each spin is independent of the previous one, ensuring fair gameplay.
The psychology behind Slot88 games reveals a carefully curated experience designed to engage players. Through strategically implemented sound effects, captivating visuals, and well-thought-out design elements, these games create an immersive environment that keeps players entertained and coming back for more. Understanding the psychology behind Slot88 can help us make informed decisions and enjoy these games responsibly.
