The Chronicle of Belthaeous
by John W. Steele
Rodney Neumann, a brilliant student of mathematics, has earned a scholarship at Columbia University. After years of spiritual struggle he has adopted materialism as his personal philosophy. In graduate school, he studies under, Dr. Adrian Nacroanus, an eccentric scientist who heads the Department of Genetic Engineering. The doctor’s advancements in biotechnology have earned him a reputation as a near-mythological being. In time, he and Rodney form a master-student relationship based on deep theosophical insights that Nacroanus reveals to him.
Dr. Nacroanus has developed a serum called Eternulum that he claims will increase human longevity. But before he can bestow his gift on humanity he must retrieve a mummified angel named Belthaeous, who has lain entombed in the Cave of the Ancients for thousands of years.
Rodney and Nacroanus journey to the Himalayas to find the hidden entity. Deep in the mountains, Rodney witnesses miracles that shatter his understanding of reality and confront him with forces of ultimate malevolence.
Chapter 18: The Way of the Scorpion
Nacroanus climbed back up the slope. Like a shadowy wraith, Jigme appeared out of the night. I heard them laugh, and their voices rang firm in the outer dark.
I headed back to my tent. Nacroanus must have planned the murder in advance, because the massacre had unfolded like a well-organized conspiracy. Like clockwork, the Burmese lackeys appeared from their encampment on the other side of the glacier. I watched them lug the lifeless bodies away from the mess.
One of them hummed a tune I remembered: “You Ain’t Nothin’ but a Hound Dog.” He offered up the melody with the same indifference to his task as a sanitation worker hurls a bag of trash into the maw of garbage truck. I thought the song quite apropos. I wondered why life, with all its internal significance, amounted in the end to little more than blunted perception incarcerated in a shell of waste matter.
The porters carried the bodies to the crevasse where they cast them into a deep grotto to lie frozen until this hell world ceased to exist. When the last of the Sherpas were removed from the tent, the laborers soaked the enclosure with kerosene and burned it to ashes.
As usual, I felt shocked and helpless by the ways of a conqueror that I could not understand. Why could I not accept that man is a predatory animal who cries out in the darkness at the moon of his ideal, and worships it as God?
The shock of the massacre left me numb, and my ears screamed like sirens. My body ached with exhaustion, and I knew only nightmares awaited. Despite the depth of my despair, I fell into a deep slumber as soon as I crawled into my bag.
* * *
A lustrous sugar sand beach appeared beneath a coral blue sky. In the distance stood the glimmering Bodhisattva who had warned me that my life was in danger. I approached her and stopped when her radiance began to repel me.
Ursula looked ravishing, and I struggled to control the carnal urges I felt for her. Cautiously, I studied her form. She appeared to be a crystalline hyperdimensional entity. Kaleidoscopic wheels of radiance formed geometric patterns throughout her body. Her golden hair flamed with a rainbow aura, and a magnificent diadem of rubies and diamonds sat on her head. To look at her was to know the essence of feminine loveliness.
She wore a shimmering white gown that hung to her feet. Gold brocade adorned the vestment, and even in the loose fitting garment she radiated burning sensuality.
Though I could not see him, I felt Thrangu’s presence over my shoulder near the top of my head. His energy reassured me, and I remembered what he told me about the feminine creation. He claimed all men were made of mud, clay, and stone but that woman was formed of spiritual matter removed from the male, and that was the reason men found them so enchanting to behold.
Ursula remained silent. I continued to gaze at her, and I hungered for her energy. But I knew she had a message for me, and I didn’t want to blow it with her again. I lowered my eyes yet, no matter where I looked, I could see her, like the moon reflected on water.
“You’re doing a little better,” she said.
“Why do you come to me now?” I asked.
“You’ve been chosen to perform a great task, Rodney. You’re going to need all the help you can get. I exist in the fifth density, the realm of wisdom-compassion. I need to learn from you, and I’ve volunteered to assist you. You are a man of lustful appetites, but your heart cries out in a vibration I cannot resist. To aid in the evolution of awareness is the love of our True Light Creator.
“What do you want me to do?” I asked.
“I cannot tell you that. It must come from within you. For me to interfere would distort the primary law of free will. You remain in great danger. Remember this: death can be hiding anywhere, even behind a snowflake.
“You’ve been entrusted with a power you cannot begin to imagine. And there are forces that will kill you to steal it. But Evil cannot harm you as long as you retain the Eye. Stay awake. The one you know as Jigme has marked you for death.”
She waved her hand, and I awakened with a start.
* * *
My bladder felt ready to explode. I glanced at my watch, it was 3:00 a.m. Outside, it was a balmy 10 below zero, and I decided to trudge to the outhouse.
I stumbled along the ice-rutted trail. The moon reflected from the roof of the glacier with a dull silver haze. Ursula’s warning whispered in my head, but I felt certain that Jigme wouldn’t dare attack me with Dr. Nacroanus around.
A pop exploded on the side of my skull, and a stinging pain throbbed in my ear. The punch knocked me to the ground and, for a moment, my senses shorted out. When I looked up Jigme stared down at me, a nasty smirk plastered over his crooked teeth.
“Stand up, Neumann,” he snarled. “I won’t kill you just yet.”
He crouched and grabbed my wrist with an iron grip. He tugged on my arm and pulled me to my feet as if I were a balloon. My ear stung, and I rubbed it hard.
Jigme stood naked from the waist up. His body rippled with animal masculinity like the bronze of a Roman gladiator. Tense bands of muscle drawn tight like steel cables strained in his chest. His knuckles were as large as walnuts and covered with pads of gnarled calluses.
I lunged for his midsection to try and take him down. He jumped high in the air and slammed his heel on the back of my neck. The blow surged like a thunderbolt down my spine and for a moment my body went numb all over. I tumbled to the ground and rolled over on my back. “What do you want, you crazy bastard?”
He grinned like some kind of demented professional wrestler. “I could have broken your neck if I wanted to, but I’ve savored this moment for a long time and I want to make it last.
“You are not one of us, Neumann. Everyone coddles you. Even the Vulpeculans overlook your weakness, and I cannot understand why. Nacroanus treats you like his pet. But I know what you are. You’re a malignancy, a son of the Light. I know how the family thinks. They want you to emerge as their born-again poster boy for the perfected reality I’ve struggled my whole life to help create.
“Nacroanus thinks he can reform you, but you will cause Mammon nothing but confusion. I’ll put an end to your perfect little scam and replace you as the apple of his eye. I’m jealous, Neumann. I’ve served Mammon my entire life, and he’s never acknowledged one thing I’ve done. Why should you be so honored?
“But these are merely the superficial emotional scars that burn in my wounded psyche. You’ve got something I want, cherub, now give it to me.”
It might be a bluff. No one told him I held the Eye, so how could he know? I decided to dumb down. “What are you talking about?”
Whoosh. Like a bolt of lightning, his fist hissed past the side of my skull. The wind in its wake slapped my cheek. I knew the punch was lethal; he could have killed me if he had wanted to.
“You’re just a nine-holed bag of shit, Rodney. You’re not worthy of such power. You know what I think? Thrangu entrusted you with the Eye because he knew you weren’t man enough to use it for its intended purpose.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, you psychotic moron. Why don’t you go rape a—”
Wham! His fist slammed into my chest, and my heart skipped a beat. The air exploded from my lungs, and a dull ache paralyzed my diaphragm. I grew dizzy and dropped to my knees. I clenched my belly and struggled not to puke my guts out.
“You have the Eye. Give it to me, and I’ll let you live.”
I coughed out, “What makes you think I have it?”
“Don’t play games with me, Neumann. There were only three on this planet in this time frame that knew about the Eye: the Karmapa, Thrangu, and Jerus. When Thrangu migrated to our side, he knew that Mammon would kill him. He sacrificed his life so he would not be forced to return the Eye to the Avatar. He must have given the Eye to someone, and you’re the only one he trusted. He spoke highly of you and claimed you were the chosen one.
The game is over, he knows.
“If the Eye is so evil why didn’t Thrangu just cast it into a gorge?”
“It’s not that simple, Neumann. That’s what the celestial lickspittle Jerus tried to do. He understood the power of the Eye, but he had no vision of its purpose. Jerus was a sage, not a prophet. Because of his bewilderment, he hid the Eye at the bottom of a fathomless wellspring in a cave only he knew about.
“The Eye cannot be destroyed; it is a Stargate that opens the portal that leads beyond the Matrix. Because of its perfected electromagnetic frequency, the Vulpeculans had no trouble finding it. They simply ordered an expedition, and the monks journeyed to the specific coordinates. They retrieved the Eye and returned it to the Karmapa.
“The great lama understood the scrolls, and he knew of the impending changes about to take place. He bequeathed the Eye to Thrangu and commanded him to carry out the mission. But Thrangu trusted no one. He gave up his vows and left the Potala.”
“How did Thrangu learn the truth about the scrolls?”
“Your beloved Dr. Nacroanus took him into his confidence. The doctor is a woman inside, you know. Perhaps Nacroanus fancied him. Everyone has an emotional flaw, Neumann, something sweet and forbidden they can’t resist, an Achilles heel that can destroy them.”
The pain in my diaphragm jabbed like a knife. I clenched my ribs and struggled to my feet.
“You need to understand something, Dr. Neumann. Whoever holds the Eye will die if they do not return it to the Avatar. But they can give the Eye to another of a higher awareness, be it good or evil.
“You can give me the Eye, but I cannot take it from you. Look at it like this: if you give me the Eye, you will live. I am of the dark side, and I am evolved enough to understand its significance. I am the only one that can balance the electromagnetic field within it and remove the curse. But if you refuse to give it to me, I will kill you and take it.” He shook with laughter. “If you are already dead, the curse cannot harm you.
“Not even the Vulpeculans understand the true nature of the Eye. They think it’s merely a wormhole that leads to the Pleroma. They do not realize that it is the center of Mammon’s will. If the Council of Five were to gain control of the Eye, they would use it to overthrow their god and seat themselves on his throne.
“That is why the true purpose of its power has been hidden and distorted in the Chronicle of Belthaeous. Give me the Eye and I’ll spare your life.”
I looked at him and my heart thumped with anger. “Spare my life the same way you slaughtered your own brothers, you bloodletting son of a bitch.”
An iron fist slammed into my collar bone, and my arm went limp. I wobbled on the ice field and crashed in the snow.
“I’ve told you enough, Neumann. It’s quite simple. Give me the Eye or I’ll take it the hard way.”
I stared in his eyes and smiled, I knew my insolence would send him over the top. “I wouldn’t give you the Eye at any price, you murdering piece of shit. If you want it, you’ll have to kill me.”
Jigme reared back his head and howled like a wolf. He frowned and his face contorted like a jack-o’lantern.
“As you wish, Light warrior. It will be my pleasure to accommodate you. But I want this sacrifice to have meaning. I’m going to offer your Light as a gift to Mammon.”
He placed his hands behind his back and paced around me in a slow, measured cadence. “You know, Rodney, we begin our study of martial arts in Nepal when we’re old enough to walk. Full contact Kung Fu the day the master accepts you. There are many fighting styles in our land. I studied the way of the Monkey, the Crane, the Tiger, and the Mantis, but my master alone understood the way of the Scorpion, the most powerful Kung Fu of all.”
He kicked and punched me as he pleased, each blow like the thud of a sledge hammer. I tried to defend myself, but his speed and power were superhuman.
“In the Scorpion discipline, every seven years we fight a worthy opponent to the death.” He laughed aloud, his voice a graveled monotone.
“I’ve killed seven warriors so far, all of them demons. It will bring me extraordinary glee to slay one of the Light. Stand up and face me, Rodney. Or do you want to die on the ice like a spineless worm?”
I braced my hand on my knee and struggled to my feet.
He came closer until his eyes were inches from my face. “Do you truly understand who you’re dealing with? I am a double Master of the Dob-dob, one of three on this earth that have developed the power of the ‘god hand’. I hold the concentration to drive my fist completely through your skull until it bursts out of the back of your head. A delightful metaphor, wouldn’t you agree?”
I said nothing and continued to glare into his eyes.
He grabbed my parka and cocked back his rippled arm. “No more games, Neumann. Give me the Eye now!”
Time seemed to slow to a halt and a profound sense of indifference came over me. As I faced my final moments, I realized that it made little difference to me if the God of Light existed or not. Nor did it trouble me that an afterlife might be nothing more than a childish fantasy. All these years and I still could not accept that any good ever existed in this world, but I knew for certain that evil did. And it gave me great satisfaction to know that I would die as one of the few men that ever had the courage to spit in Satan’s eye.
“Wait a second,” I said. “I do have one final tribute I’d like to bestow upon you before I bid farewell to this freak show.”
Jigme tightened his fist, his eyes like burned like cherry embers.
From the back of my throat, I raised a thick ball of mucous slime and hurled it into the demon’s face. I closed my eyes and awaited the greatest blessing this world has to offer.
Jigme resounded with a blood-curdling war cry: “You filthy son of a bitch!”
A shot rang out. A warm sensation spattered on my face. I ran my hand over my forehead, and scraped away bloody strands of tissue.
Jigme lay sprawled in the snow, half his skull blown away, his body quivering in a spastic convulsion. Dr. Nacroanus stood over him, a wisp of smoke trailed from the barrel of his pistol.
I heaved a heavy sigh. “Thank God you’re here.”
“Thank Mammon,” he replied. “Had I arrived one second later it would have been disastrous.”
“How did you know Jigme was going to kill me?”
“Jigme and I are a lot alike,” Adrian said. “I knew he wanted you dead, but I did not think he would act so quickly. This is what happens when a man does not learn to conquer his haste.”
He shook his head and made a clicking sound with his tongue. “It’s such a pity the folly that dwells in those who have more confidence than intellect. He believed — because I asked him to murder his own — that I would accept him as an equal. But he is an ice monkey. He was little more than a robot in the lower echelon of the family, certainly not one of the elite.
“Despite his magic tricks, Jigme was a simple man and easy to manipulate. He did not understand your true significance. Jigme and his allies are the last weak link in the chain.”
Adrian raised the sleeve of his parka, and calibrated his watch. “The others will meet their fate in the form of a neurotoxin that will paralyze their diaphragms right about now.”
Somewhere in the distance I heard a crash.
Adrian grinned like some kind of invincible demigod. “Jigme knew the rules. In Mammon’s universe, trust is a form of weakness. For one moment, he lost perspective and assumed he knew me. That error in judgment cost him his life.”
I cradled my ribs and coughed out, “He was a Scorpion.”
Adrian knitted his brow. “A scorpion is just a glorified arachnid. I squashed him.”

ASTM E1153: Efficacy of Sanitizers Recommended for Inanimate, Hard, Non-porous, Non-Food Contact Surfaces
The ASTM E1153 method is an antimicrobial test designed to determine the effectiveness of sanitizers on pre-cleaned, inanimate, potent, non-porous and non-food contact surfaces.
The aim of this method is to evaluate whether chemicals intended for such applications achieve a validated percent reduction compared to a control, for a given microbial species on the treated surface.
Standard ASTM E1153 testing is performed against:
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae)
Enterobacter aerogenes also known as Klebsiella aerogenes (K. aerogenes)
The test can include a broad range of bacterial strains. Additionally, this antimicrobial method can incorporate a durability assessment by soiling or hard water, as well as customer specified test conditions such as varying contact times at which the product’s performance is evaluated.
Standard test conditions typically involve 5- or 10-minute bacterial contact with the test material. Customer selected test organisms are prepared 4 days in advance by multiple 24-hour passes of the culture, followed by a final incubation of 48 hours. The produced inoculum is later utilized as the inoculum for the test surface of the non-porous substrate. The process of creating such inoculum provides a robust, homogenous culture for use in the testing.
ASTM E1153 is suitable for various products including spray-based, liquid, and towelette-based antimicrobials. Per regulatory requirements, testing in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) may be determined appropriate. At Situ Biosciences, we offer both GLP or non-GLP testing.
For more information on Antimicrobial Testing email email@example.com or call our laboratory at (847) 483-9950.

by John Clark | 04 September 2012
View the photo gallery
The maniacal tuners at Mansory are know for their unrestrained Mercedes-Benz Makeover, like there outrageously eccentric and 631-hp Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG back in March or there SLS AMG that took on the look of a Ferrari 599.
There latest project however has thrown us a curve ball with a subdued makeover of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. Don’t get me wrong, I like what Mansory’s done this time around. Because really, could you imagine a C250 in a full Carbon Fiber suit?
For the C-Class Coupe, Mansory added an updated front bumper with large air intakes filled with metal grilles, LED lights and just above that, a blacked out Mercedes-Benz emblem. Maintaining a bit of what Mansory is known for is the carbon-fiber hood that ads a nice contrast to the bright white finish.
The rear is also given a touch of carbon on the trunk spoiler and again on surrounding the large exhaust pipes.
On the inside, a sport steering wheel mounted and a range of carbon-fiber goodies, like paddles. The limited carbon fiber treatment continues inside with sports steering wheel and a few lightweight composite accent pieces. Black leather is found on seating surfaces and steering wheel, while white stitching provides some contrast.
The Wide Body package is pure show however, without any engine modifications, making it ideal for the C180, C200, C250 or C350. Pricing has yet to be announced. Looking for what Mansory can do for your C63 AMG, stay tuned.

On February 3, iCCAMT is pleased to announce that following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Cizzle Biotechnology ("Cizzle") and Shenzhen Intelliphecy Life Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Intelliphecy"), announced on 25 November 2021, a full commercial agreement has now been executed to develop and market the Company's proprietary early lung cancer diagnostic tests in China (the "Agreement").
Around 816,000 new lung cancer cases were diagnosed in China in 2020, accounting for almost 18 percent of all the 4.6 million new cancer cases in China. In that year, approximately three million deaths in China were caused by cancer*. It is also known that there are serious challenges in being able to detect cancer early and a great need for screening and diagnosing cancers among the Chinese population when targeted interventions can improve timely access to cancer care and save lives**.
The Agreement will generate future revenues for Cizzle Biotechnology via a 10% royalty on the sales of all products and services using its proprietary CIZ1B technology and from payment for monoclonal antibodies and reagents.
The China partners will be solely responsible for funding all activities in China including development, clinical trials, manufacturing, and distribution. It is intended that initial development will commence within 60 days of Cizzle Biotechnology supplying its immunoreagents to the China partners, which is anticipated to be in Q2 2022.
An initial pilot covering 300 patients is planned at China's premier cancer hospitals, which will allow for a true representative patient cohort to be included and, if successful, is expected to accelerate adoption and product rollout in China.
The China partners
iCCAMT, founded with German Medical Valley, Robert Bosch GmbH and Sinopharm Group, aims to accelerate global med-tech innovation in the Chinese market, by bringing together world leading expertise. The strategic alliance is intended to accelerate product development and clinical trials to achieve early adoption within major cancer centers throughout China.
Intelliphecy is aiming to innovate technologies in the hope to win the war against cancer, aspiring to out-smart cancer cells with an intelligent prophecy. At the core of Intelliphecy's technology portfolio lies artificial intelligence driven big data analytics, which is devoted to predictive modeling of cancer, a methodology which has proved timely given the global pandemic's digital health and data adoption trends.
Commenting, Allan Syms, Executive Chairman of Cizzle Biotechnology, said:
"As reported in November 2021, when we signed our MOU with iCCAMT and Intelliphecy, lung cancer in China is a huge social and economic challenge, especially because of the difficulties in being able to detect it early enough to make clinical intervention effective. We are now pleased to report that as planned we have completed detailed commercial negotiations and have entered into a full binding agreement that will enable us to bring our early cancer testing technology to this important market. Our Chinese partners will be financing all activities in China in exchange for providing us with important and repeatable royalty revenues and covering the costs for all key reagents and our proprietary monoclonal antibodies. We are excited to be working with our new partners in China and look forward to beginning our initial pilot trials with China's leading scientists and centers of excellence."
Commenting, Dr Hui Wu, CEO and Founder of iCCAMT said:
"This agreement represents a significant opportunity to bring early and cost-effective cancer detection to the people of China. It is estimated that about 95.8 million people in China have a high risk of lung cancer and if screening was performed every three years, then more than 30 million tests per year would be required. At a target price of about £100 per test, the total available market for tests based on the CIZ1B biomarker would be £3 billion. (Frost & Sullivan estimates the market size in China is US$5.7 billion). We have already secured strong interest from our nationwide network of national clinical centers and key opinion leaders because of the promising results using the CIZ1B biomarker for lung cancer early detection in the UK and one our first tasks is to commence pilot studies at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, National Cancer Centre, and Beijing Cancer Hospital, affiliated with Peking University."
Commenting, Dr Xiaoyun Huang, CEO and Founder of Intelliphecy said:
"Lung cancer is the one with the highest incidence in China. The fact that many lung cancer patients are diagnosed with advanced disease hampers therapeutic efficiency and patient survival. There is an urgent need for early lung cancer detection in China. We are extremely happy to have finalized the details of a formal agreement on a Royalty Strategic Alliance for Early Lung Cancer Detection in China with Cizzle and iCCAMT. This marks the first milestone of our strategic alliance since the signing of MOU. We are looking forward to initiating the development of CIZ1B based early lung cancer detection products and services as soon as possible."

Rapidly rising house prices in Wales are a sign of the growing demand for new homes in the country, according to housebuilder Bellway.
Figures from property website Rightmove show that the average asking price for a home has risen much faster in Wales than elsewhere in the UK over the past 12 months.
And Bellway, which is currently building at sites in Cardiff, Newport and rural Monmouthshire, says this trend reflects the increasing demand it has witnessed at its Welsh developments -including from buyers across the English border.
Rightmove’s statistics for August show that there has been a 2.3 per cent increase in Wales over the last month and a 10.9 percent jump year on year.
The figures reveal that nationally there has been a 0.3 percent monthly decrease with a 5.6 percent annual rise.
Billie Oaten, Sales Director at Bellway Wales, said: “This is further evidence of the strength of the housing market in Wales, which continues to outperform the rest of the UK. We have noticed a particularly high demand for homes at our Welsh developments over the past 12 to 18 months.
“Some of this has been driven by the growing popularity of rural or village locations since the start of the pandemic. However, it is also part of a longer-term trend which has seen Wales become an increasingly attractive option for housebuyers from England.
“Cardiff has established a reputation as one of the UK’s most liveable cities and its appeal to buyers from all corners of the British Isles continues to grow, while the South East of the country offers excellent value compared to neighbouring towns and cities just across the English border.
“The Rightmove figures show that the average asking price of a house in Wales is £236,037, compared to £350,600 in the South West. While prices are on the increase, this comparison indicates that there is still an excellent opportunity for buyers in Wales to benefit from future house price inflation.”
Bellway is currently building at two developments on the edge of Cardiff, as well as sites in Newport and Undy.
The developer is delivering 270 new homes at its Longwood Grange site in Lisvane, which is part of a wider neighbourhood being created on the northern edge of Cardiff.
Bellway is also set to provide 120 homes at Rhiwlas at Plasdŵr, in Radyr, which will form part of Cardiff’s brand-new garden city.
A total of 144 homes are being built at Bellway’s Greystone Meadows site in Undy, while the housebuilder is delivering 152 homes at the Heron’s Mead development which is part of the wider regeneration of the former Llanwern steelworks site on the eastern edge of Newport.
Billie said: “The four developments we are currently building at in Wales will provide a total of 686 much-needed new homes to meet the growing demand for housing in this part of the UK. Confidence in Wales as a place to live and invest is growing, which is reflected by the major housing developments we are involved in.
“Wales is a key growth area for us as a business and we are committed to supporting the delivery of new housing and the creation of new neighbourhoods across the country, which will in turn attract further investment. The continued strength of the Welsh housing market therefore represents good news not only for homeowners in Wales but also for the wider Welsh economy and the country as a whole.”
As well as its current developments, Bellway is also preparing to start work at new sites in Pontypridd and Swansea.
The housebuilder is set to deliver 95 homes at Coed Derw, in Llantwit Fardre near Pontypridd, and 184 homes at Parc Mawr, in Penllergaer near Swansea. The latter is part of a proposed neighbourhood of 850 new homes, a primary school, local centre, community facilities and public open space.

Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface and widen Missouri Route 37 from Missouri 96 to Sarcoxie in Jasper County begins the week of July 24, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
JASPER COUNTY – Drivers can expect one-lane traffic and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface and widen Missouri Route 37 in Jasper County begins the week of July 24, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Route 37 will receive a new driving surface and the roadway will be widened to include shoulders with edgeline rumble strips.
The work will take place along an 11-and-a-half-mile stretch of Route 37 between Missouri Route 96 and a point south of Joplin Street in Sarcoxie.
Drivers can expect flaggers on the road and pilot cars directing them through the work zone. Drivers should wait for the pilot vehicle before proceeding through the work zone or before entering the work zone from a side road.
In addition, drivers can expect one lane traffic and temporary traffic signals at two bridges on Route 37 during this project:
• Over White Oak Creek, two miles south of Route 96
• Over Spring River, three miles south of Route 96
The temporary signals will be used to control traffic when contractor crews are making improvements to those bridges. The signals will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week once installed at those locations while the work is being done.
Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the work zone.
All lanes of traffic will be open during nighttime hours.
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.

Tuning Mechanism through Buffer Dependence of Hydrogen Evolution Catalyzed by a Cobalt Mini-enzyme
preprintsubmitted on 16.01.2020, 16:57 and posted on 24.01.2020, 21:43 by Jennifer Le, Georgios Alachouzos, Alison Frontier, Angela Lombardi, Kara Bren
Cobalt-mimochrome VI*a (CoMC6*a) is a synthetic mini-protein that catalyzes aqueous proton reduction to hydrogen (H2). In buffered water, there are multiple possible proton donors, complicating the elucidation of mechanism. We have found that buffer pKa and sterics have significant effects on activity, evaluated through cyclic voltammetry (CV). Protonated buffer is proposed to act as the primary proton donor to the catalyst, specifically through the protonated amine of the buffers that were tested. At a constant pH of 6.5, catalytic H2 evolution in the presence of buffer acids of pKa ranging from 5.8 to 11.6 was investigated, giving rise to a potential-pKa relationship that can be divided into two regions. For acids of pKa ≤ 8.7, the half-wave catalytic potential (Eh) changes as a function of pKa with a slope of –128 mV/pKa unit, and for acids of pKa ≥ 8.7, Eh changes as a function of pKa with a slope of –39 mV/pKa unit. In addition, a series of buffer acids was synthesized to explore the influence of steric bulk around the acidic proton on catalysis. The catalytic current in CV shows a significant decrease in the presence of the sterically hindered buffer acids compared to their parent compounds, also consistent with the added buffer acid acting as the primary proton donor to the catalyst and showing that acid structure in addition to pKa impacts activity. These results demonstrate that buffer acidity and structure are important considerations when optimizing and evaluating systems for proton-dependent catalysis in water.

As Uganda grapples with containing the coronavirus pandemic amid social disruptions and slump in the economy, there has been phased easing of the lockdown.
Most essential services are fully operational and public transportation has also resumed in many parts of the country with restrictions to carry fewer passengers.
There are, however, other points of contention, especially the implementation and adherence to the guidelines. Two key issues stand out: Social distancing and wearing of masks. There is open disregard for these guidelines by the general public and those in authority who ought to lead by example.
A quick survey around public places will show that most people do not wear a mask. And most of those who have masks do not wear them in the recommended manner. These include government officials who are often captured on camera mixing with members of the public while not wearing masks properly or not at all.
Similarly, there are concerns about the congestion in downtown Kampala where social distancing guidelines are non-existent. This is happening at a time when the government – rightly so – has kept schools closed and the national electoral body has advised digital election campaigns.
The Health ministry has also issued stringent standard operating procedures requiring, among others, primary education institutions to have at least 10 pupils per classroom and only 15 students for secondary schools, tertiary institutions and universities before they can reopen.
In the June 17 letter to Education Minister, Health minister Dr Jane Ruth Aceng also emphasizes a two metre distance between learners and teachers, hand washing and routine screening of learners and staff.
The SOPs state that when a case is detected, the school will be cordoned off until all contacts to the confirmed case are identified, before it is closed. The school will be allowed to reopen after 21 days. The reopening date has not been communicated.
These guidelines have raised debate on how practical it would be for schools to implement them given the generally big number in our classes. Separately, there are demands from arcade owners for government to allow them to reopen.
As the Covid-19 cases continue to rise, it would be unwise to ignore set guidelines but Ugandans also require practical strategies. For instance, what is the plan for a classroom of 50 pupils if only 10 are allowed per class? Will learning be phased?
Critically, why are set guidelines like social distancing and wearing of masks being disregarded with impunity, including by prominent government officials who are supposed to lead by example?

I have been helping men and women get back with their ex boyfriends and ex girlfriends for over three and a half years.
I have responded to over 20,000 comments through this site and my other site, Ex Boyfriend Recovery and have seen quite a few things along the way.
In an effort to help more people through my websites I have been playing closer attention to the comments I am getting and looking for trends. For example, if I notice a type of comment that is continually getting asked then I know that a lot of people are having that issue and I will write an article about it.
Well, yesterday I got so many comments of a certain nature that I felt compelled to stop working on another article I was working on and start a new one, this one.
What were the comments about?
More specifically, men who had addictive behavior and were trying to get their ex girlfriends back.
The Common Addiction Types Of Comments
I get a lot of comments here on Ex Girlfriend Recovery. Men from all walks of life come to me in search of advice on how to win the love of their life back. Of course, like I said, a few days ago I did a scan of this sites comments just to get a general idea with what you guys were struggling with and the thing that stuck out to me were addiction comments.
For example, one young man seemed to be addicted to playing video games. In fact, he was playing so much that to his own admission he was starting to damage his relationship with his girlfriend.
A lot of men seem to be neglecting their girlfriends in favor of their addiction which ultimately results in a breakup. Take this guy for instance, his girlfriend is terrified because he has a serious drug problem and she doesn’t know what to do,
The point I am getting at here is simple, while I would love to continue talking about the general concepts of getting an ex girlfriend back on this site I feel it is extremely important if I address these problems first.
How This Page Can Help You
I am writing this page for those of you who are trying to get your ex girlfriend back if you have an addiction.
More specifically, I am writing it for those of you whose addiction was so prevalent that it was the underlying cause of your breakup. For example, if you and your ex girlfriend constantly fought about your problems with addiction of some sort then I am willing to bet that your addiction probably factored into her decision to leave you.
That is where this article comes in handy.
It is going to show you exactly what steps you need to take to not only recover her but recover your non-addicted personality.
Here are a few of the the things it is going to cover,
- Are You Addicted To Something?
- The Types Of Addictions
- How Your Addiction Harmed Your Relationship
- What To Do About Your Addiction
- How To Approach Your Ex Girlfriend Post Addiction
Oh, and in case you are wondering.
YES, my book, Ex Girlfriend Recovery PRO can still work for you if you have an addiction.
Are You An Addict?
I know exactly what you are thinking.
You are reading this title, scoffing, and thinking to yourself,
“There is no way I am an addict.”
While you may think that you are above this I guarantee you that you are not. In fact, I am not afraid that I go through addictive periods just like you probably do. While I have never taken any drugs and the only time I really drink is socially I do have a problem with playing certain video games from time to time.
You see, I am the type of person that hates leaving things unfinished.
I mean, It literally annoys me that I can’t finish these massive articles all in one sitting. Nope, instead it takes days sometimes weeks to complete them and it annoys me to no end.
Video games are the same way. Once I start a video game I can’t stop until it’s finished which of course is a problem if you pick up a game that can never be finished.
I am thinking of you World of Warcraft ;).
Addiction is defined as,
A state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences.
I remember ten years ago I got very addicted to that World of Warcraft game. It got to the point that, that was all I was doing for months.
Looking back it was kind of a dumb thing to engage in so heavily. I mean, all the characters and quests were fake and I didn’t get any physical or financial reward at all (except maybe getting fat which isn’t really a reward.) If you look at the definition given above about addiction I was definitely addicted to WOW.
A state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli = Me constantly playing WOW and it making me feel good.
Despite adverse consequences- My time was always sucked up in that game. Plus I didn’t get any healthier sitting and staring at a computer all day. In fact, I am pretty sure if I didn’t kick that addiction and still was playing that game today I would have ended up looking like this,
My point is very simple.
When most people think of addiction they think of the hard addictions like drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. However, don’t think you are above addiction if you have the smaller ones like video games, shopping or working too much.
Too many of those little addictions can be just as devastating to a relationship as the bigger more well known ones.
Lets take a deeper look at all the types of addictions that men can have that cause women to leave them.
The Many Types Of Negative Addictions That Affect Your Relationship
Believe it or not but there is such a thing as positive addictions.
I know that is weird for me to say but in my opinion someone who has to work out every single day is addicted to excercise. Now, while maybe there is a negative aspect with the loss of time it takes to excercise there is also a positive effect that working out has on your body.
In this section we aren’t going to be covering “all” the addictions out there.
No, we are just going to be looking at the addictions that have a negative impact on your relationship. In other words, did you addiction in some way, shape or form contribute to your break with your ex girlfriend?
That’s what we are going to explore.
Ok, before I really dive in here I would like to give you a brief overview of the negative addictions that I am going to be talking about.
- Video Games
- Drugs & Cigarettes
(Side Note: There are a lot more addictions but based on what I have seen in the comments and emails I have moderated these are the ones that need to be covered.)
Video Game Addiction
I’ll admit, I can sympathize with this.
(I am sure you remember my unfortunate WOW story above.)
Based on what I am seeing there are a lot of young men out there that have a video game addiction. You see, what ends up happening is that they end up playing video games so much that they completely neglect their girlfriends.
Let me paint you a picture for a moment.
Imagine that you and your ex girlfriend are still “official” and you are living together.
You have just gotten the newest Final Fantasy game (hey I have a bit of a nerdy side and this is my chance to show it off.) The game is absolutely incredible and you are glued to the screen so much that everything that happens in that fantasy world just captivates you.
All of it is just so captivating you can’t move an inch until you advance farther and farther…
You have to find out what happens next…
Then, all of a sudden, your girlfriend (your ex) comes home from work excited to see you and instead of rushing to the door to greet her with a kiss you completely ignore her and are focused on the game. Oh, and I guess I should mention that this is the fifth day in a row that this exact thing has happened.
You my friend have a problem…
How Your Video Game Addiction Affects The Relationship
Relationships can’t survive without communication and attention.
Each member has to communicate with each other and set aside time earmarked for just that one person.
Look, I am in agreement that everyone needs some alone time here and there but people also need together time too. Someone who has a video game addiction has put an emphasis on alone time and is completely ignoring together time.
All your girlfriend wanted from you was a little attention.
She just wanted someone she could vent to about how bad her day was or what’s happening in the office.
YOU were her go to guy for this.
However, since you keep ignoring her in favor of video games she feels alienated and alone.
So, instead of relying on you emotionally for things (which is usually a good place to be) she is going to rely on her guy friend, Bob, for that.
And we all know how opportunistic Bob is…
Hint: He will try to sleep with her.
It’s funny, today a comment I answered really stuck out to me because I don’t think I have heard anything quite like it before.
While I don’t think this fellow has an alcohol addiction I do know one thing, he drank too much.
So, a guy today asked me how to get his ex girlfriend back (which isn’t anything new.)
However, what was strange was the fact that he had drank so much that he punched a window, got blood everywhere and woke up in a hospital after he blacked out from drinking…
Yup, apparantely he has scared his girlfriend off since it was her window that he punched.
Do you see where I am going with this?
Too much alcohol can be very dangerous for a man. Not only does it dull the sense but some people can have a very violent reaction to it. I mean, we have all heard the stories where a guy gets too drunk and smacks around his girlfriend.
This is absolutely sickening to me.
Alcohol addiction is a very serious matter and if you drink too much you need to get help.
Look, most alcoholics don’t think they are alcoholics so don’t think you are above it.
How Your Alcohol Addiction Affects The Relationship
I want you to do me a favor and read this,
Did you read it?
This woman is clearly head over heels in love with a guy who drinks too much.
This guy isn’t going to treat her well…
He isn’t going to marry her like she wants…
Oh, and he may end up abusing her physically and emotionally.
The sad part is, is that because of her feelings she doesn’t feel strong enough to walk away from the situation.
Do you want to know how alcohol affects relationships?
Well, I read in an article that the woman who asked the question above was not only treated horribly but she was beaten so bad that she actually had to go to the hospital.
Thankfully, her boyfriend who did it to her was arrested but the lesson to take from it here is that he came home in a drunken rage one Saturday and that is when all hell broke loose.
Don’t sit there and tell me that alcohol addiction can ever have a positive impact on a relationship because in my opinion it can’t.
Drugs & Cigarette Addiction
You may be wondering why I put drugs and cigarettes together.
I mean, I am sure someone snorting cocaine or doing crystal meth is going to have a lot more problems than someone who smokes but to me I put smoking on the same level.
Because it is nasty as hell.
I live in the first story of an apartment with two stories above me. Now, as I am sure you have already surmised I am not a fan of smoking at all.
I would say that I try not to judge people on it but the truth is I do. I think it is totally nasty and it makes no sense to me as to why you would want to do something that has proven to end your life quicker but we are getting a little off topic here.
Anyways, I live in an apartment on the first floor and there is a couple that lives above me who I swear are chain smokers. In fact, they smoke so much that at times I can smell their nasty secondhand smoke in my apartment and it drives me nuts.
There have been times where I have contemplated going out and buying them “stop smoking” manuals just to prove a point.
I imagine this is how most girlfriends feel about their boyfriends smoking or drug addictions that they don’t approve of.
Speaking of drugs…
I don’t really think I need to get too deep here.
Drugs are bad.
If you have watched Breaking Bad
then you definitely know what I am talking about.
How Drugs And Cigarettes Can Negatively Affect Your Relationship
I talk to a lot of men and women every day and I have heard a lot of sob stories when it comes to drugs and cigarettes.
The funny thing I have noticed about these stories is that they always end up in one of two ways.
1. Either the couple gets into a fight over the addiction.
2. They both join in on the addiction.
In my opinion, neither one of these options has a positive impact on a relationship.
Take option one for example.
If you have a drug problem or smoking problem and your girlfriend is constantly arguing with you over it then that means that instead of adding positive experiences into the relationship bank you are constantly adding negative ones.
Now, the last time I looked the most healthy relationships out there didn’t consist of two people constantly arguing over an addiction.
No, it consisted of both members of the relationship working together in harmony.
Lets take a look at option two now.
Every once in a while you will get some dumb girl that gets convinced that in order to get “closer” to her boyfriend she is going to have to engage in what he is engaging in.
Lets stick with our breaking bad theme and say that this girls boyfriend is addicted to crystal meth.
Well, if this girl gets hooked on crystal meth then that is going to create a whole new set of problems. For example, both of them are going to have a meth habit and probably run through their savings to feed it. Oh, and if they have a kid together then that means that this kid is totally going to be ignored in favor of some silly addiction.
This is probably a more common addiction than any other out there.
Heck, I am not sure if you can even classify this as an addiction. I mean, no one really wants to work. Unfortunately, living in this world costs money and in order to make that money we have to work. Now, I know I have readers from all over the world on this site and the amount of time at which people work varies from country to country. However, I am going to use the United States as an example here since the U.S. loves stressing families out with insane work schedules.
When it comes to relationships we all crave that special alone time with our partner.
Unfortunately, many couples won’t get that time because they are going to be forced to go to work.
How often have you heard that couples break up because they couldn’t see each other enough?
I have heard it a lot.
Heck, I even know what it feels like to want that alone time with your partner but have her not be in a position to give it to you because of the constraints of work.
I personally think it is important for both members of the relationship to carve out some time for each other no matter what because in the end if you can’t find that alone time someone is going to start to resent it.

Imagine that you are a workaholic (you have insane hours) and your girlfriend is a stay at home mom.
(Oh, you have a kid now 😉 .)
Anyways, your job requires you to wake up as early as 5 a.m. and you don’t get home until 9 p.m. every night. By the time you get home you are so tired the only thing you really want to do is eat and sleep. Spending time with your girlfriend is not a high priority.
Your girlfriend on the other hand is starting to feel alone.
You are gone all day long and when she does see you it’s only for a maximum of an hour and in that hour you are so tired that you are kind of standoffish towards her.
Well, your girlfriend is lonely and that’s when Bob swoops in.
You know Bob?
The stay at home dad that lives across the block?
All of a sudden Bob is starting to get close to your woman while you are at work.
Do you see where this is going?
What To Do About Your Addiction
Clearly you are on this site because you want your ex girlfriend back.
Now, I am assuming that since you have read this far down on the page the demise of your relationship came as a direct result of some type of addiction. For example, if your ex girlfriend broke up with you because you neglected her to play video games then she probably broke up with you as a result of your video game addiction.
I bet you can guess what I am going to say next.
If you want to successfully win your ex girlfriend back then you are going to have to find a way to get rid of your addiction.
What I am going to do now is give you a game plan that you can follow to kick each one of the addictions I discussed above.
The Addction/Ex Recovery Game Plan
There are three main parts to this game plan.
- The No Contact Rule
- Recovering Your Ex
Lets take a good look at these three components now.
Addiction And The No Contact Rule
If you are familiar with my website or my E-Book then you would know that the no contact rule is a vital part of the strategy to get your ex girlfriend book.
Of course, when you deal with exes the one commonality from situation to situation is the fact that no two situations are aliek. In other words, how you use the no contact rule in one situation may not necessarily apply to another one.
So, how are you supposed to use the no contact rule if your ex girlfriend broke up with you due to an addiction that you have?
Are you even supposed to use the no contact rule?
Yes, yes you are.
Of course, instead of spending all of your no contact rule obsessing about your ex girlfriend you really need to be focusing on yourself more than ever. I know I say that to everyone who uses the no contact really but it is VITALLY important for you.
Because you need to get rid of that addiction.
That leads us to the next component of the game plan.
You really don’t have a shot of getting your ex girlfriend back if you still have your addiction to drugs or cigarettes or video games.
This is where the no contact rule comes in handy.
By ignoring your ex through the no contact rule you are going to be essentially killing two birds with one stone.
- First Bird- You will be making your ex girlfriend miss you by essentially ignoring her.
- Second Bird- You are going to be getting valuable time to work on rehabbing your addiction.
Of course, certain addictions are going to require different types of rehabilitation methods. For example, someone who has a drug addiction is going to require more professional help than someone who just plays too many video games.
Lets take a look at the differences in rehabilitation that you will have from addiction to addiction.
Video Game Addiction Rehab
How do you rehab a video game addiction?
I mean, the last time I checked there wasn’t a VGA (video games anonymous) group for you to attend.
Remember at the beginning of this article I talked about my own little mini addiction with World of Warcraft (just reference the south park picture above if you need reminding.) Well, the way that I kicked World of Warcraft was I literally had to throw it out.
I removed the temptation entirely and found some other way to fill the time.
I imagine for a video game addiction you are going to have to do the same thing. You are going to have to throw your games out….
I know, I know…
It is a bit extreme but you want your girlfriend back, right?
Being an alcoholic is a very serious matter and you should seek professional help immediately.
Check yourself into rehab and start visiting AA meetings.
Do everything you can to kick this horrible habit.
Quitting smoking can be especially hard. However, it is very possible as many people have done it before.
You may have to spend some money to buy a few “quit smoking” courses.
However, what you really need to ask yourself is this,
What is more important?
Getting the love of your life back or sneaking a few cigarettes in a day?
This one is common sense…
GO TO DRUG REHAB IMMEDIATELY.
You need professional help and I am not a drug rehabilitation expert.
I am just a lowly, “get your ex back” expert.
This is a tougher one because it’s not like you can just quit your job especially if you are relying on that job to pay your rent.
What I would say is that when you do get your ex girlfriend back (I am thinking positive here) make sure that she is priority number one. Even if you have to stay up a bit later to see her, DO IT.
Find a way to work her in your schedule.
Do not forget that she will feel neglected if you don’t.
Recovering Your Ex Girlfriend
Your ex girlfriend broke up with you for a reason, you have an addiction.
So, she already has negative experiences with you that she associates with that addiction. In order to overcome those negative experiences and get her back you are going to have to overcome your addiction and eliminate it. So, my advice to you here is actually quite simple.
Before you can even try any of the tactics to get her back make sure you have defeated your addiction.
If you are trying to get her back from this place,
“I still have my addiction but I am really sorry about it”
It’s not going to be as powerful as getting her back from this place,
“I got professional help and am continuing to work to make sure this addiction is gone.”
As for the exact steps on how to get her back..

My middle daughter is a nurse, and we recently had a discussion about the best nurse shoes on the market. Many nurses have jobs that can be physically demanding, so good nursing shoes are a must. For example, nurses might be on their feet all day, and they often have to help turn or move their patients. I’m not a nurse, but I understand a lot about the career because there are several nurses in my family. I already mentioned my daughter, and my mom, my sister-in-law, and my first cousin were/are all registered nurses. In addition, one of my best friends was also a nurse, so I “get it.” I also know how important it is for anyone who has to be on her feet all day to wear the right shoes. As a retired teacher, I qualify for this category. Like nursing, teaching requires long hours on your feet. Nurses’ shoes would be a great type of shoe for teachers, too, as well as for practically anyone whose work requires a lot of standing and walking.
The shoes you wear impact more than just your feet. They can also affect your calves, your knees, your thighs, your hips, and your back. In essence, shoes can serve as “shock absorbers.” Imagine walking a couple of miles in shoes with hard wooden soles, compared to taking the same walk in shoes with rubber soles. Every time you take a step, soft, springy soles can absorb some of the impact that would otherwise stress your joints and muscles. I remember some of the best advice my mentor teacher gave me when I first began teaching. She told me to dress as nice as I wanted for work, but to always wear comfortable shoes. I would think that this same advice would be appropriate for nurses and nurses shoes, too.
Say no to high heels
High heels are beautiful, sexy shoes, but let’s face it – they make lousy work shoes. This is especially true if the shoes have narrow heels, like stilettos. There’s just not much support there. Also, experts say that wearing heels that are more than two inches in height can actually shorten the muscles and ligaments in the back of your calves, creating an unnatural situation. Save your high heels for going out to clubs, soirees, and other dressy occasions. For work, wear comfortable shoes that are friendlier to your body. Put your sexy heels back on the shelf and choose nursing shoes for women, instead!
Nursing clogs became popular several years ago, probably about the same time that the latest clog rage emerged on the fashion scene. According to my daughter, nursing clogs are the best shoes for nurses. In fact, she wears them every day now. She prefers the nursing clogs that have a lip at the back of the heel, providing her with a secure fit, along with a rubber sole for supreme flexibility and support. A non-skid rubber sole is also important because nurses sometimes have to navigate spilled liquids and fluids. Clogs are super easy to slide on and off, and they’re very comfortable. Many are also impervious to moisture and easy to clean. You’ll never have to worry about the laces coming untied, either, and at the end of the day, you can just kick out of your shoes. The next morning, all you’ll have to do is to slide your tootsies into the clogs.
Dansko shoes – Dansko nursing shoes
Dansko shoes are extremely popular, and Dansko nursing shoes are no exception. Dansko nurse shoes provide comfort and arch support. In fact, they’re designed to promote and maintain the health of your feet, legs, and back. The original Dansko shoes were clogs, but now they make several different styles of shoes. One of the most popular for nurses is their Volley Clog. While these clogs aren’t specifically categorized as nurse shoes, they do, in fact, make great nursing shoes because of their design.
What makes these wonderful nursing clogs? One reason is the rubber sole, which is easy to clean and very shock absorbing. The shoes are closed at the back of the heel, too, so they provide a secure fit. These shoes are also stylish and come in a variety of solid colors and prints, from white nursing shoes to bright floral prints. Colors and patterns include black, black and white, purple, red, orange, navy, sand, patchwork, rose floral, blue floral, and palm frond. There’s also a whimsical frog pattern available, which would be good nurses’ shoes for pediatrics.

White nursing shoes
White nursing shoes are classics. Nurses used to wear all white uniforms, so white nursing shoes were pretty much a given. Today, many nurses wear colorful scrubs, but the white nurse shoes have remained popular. White shoes have a reputation for being hard to keep clean, but this isn’t a problem with plastic or rubber shoes like nursing clogs. White leather nursing shoes can also be cleaned fairly easily, and they can always be touched up with shoe polish. Even white canvas nurse shoes ca be cleaned with soap and water, in most cases, and tough stains can usually be erased with a bleach pen. The white shoes go well with most any outfit. You can find white nursing shoes just about anywhere that sells uniforms, but for a wider variety, shop online. Doing so makes it easy to compare prices, fit, style, and other features.
Nursing shoes for women - white nursing shoes
Choose nursing shoes wisely
Don’t buy the first pair of nurses’ shoes you find. Also, don’t let price be your only guide when assessing the right nurse shoes for you and your work situation. If you already have issues with your feet, joints, or muscles, selecting the right work shoes is even more important. How many hours a day do you stand? Is heavy lifting required as part of your nursing job? How far do you have to walk each day at work? Do you have to brave the elements, like splashing through rain puddles or snow? Don’t worry – you can find nursing shoes that address all these issues. In fact, the best nurse shoes often do. Also, make sure you get the right fit. The shoes should be comfortable, but they also need to provide a secure fit. Shoes that are too loose are just as bad as shoes that are too tight, as they can cause missteps and tripping. The right nursing shoes can make your demanding job a heck of a lot easier, saving your back, feet, and legs at the same time.

Thank you so much habee; I always need to wear the most comfortable low heeled footwear ever since my two back operations.
I found this hub so interesting and thank you also for sharing.
Take care habee and enjoy your day.
drbj and sherry from south Florida on March 29, 2012:
Thanks for the update, Holle. Those nursing clogs look like winners. I have an R.N., you know. It stands for Radically Nonconformist!
Carolee Samuda from Jamaica on March 28, 2012:
Those nursing shoes look so comfortable. I have started wearing mostly flats again. After I pulled my Achilles tendon on both legs (not at the same time..lol), it was difficult to start wearing heals again, so I shop around for the most comfortable flats I can find. I think I'll try the nursing shoes next.

Magnetic level indicators technology
Magnetic Level Indicators (MLI) have revolutionized the global visual indication market by offering a safer, reliable, and high-visibility alternative to common gauge glass assemblies. Utilizing a combination of proven buoyancy principles along with the benefits magnetism, MLIs can be customized to fit virtually any process connection arrangement on the vessel.
The chamber and magnetic float is available in a variety of materials and pressure ratings to accommodate the wide variety of complex process applications present in the world’s major industrial facilities.
- Rugged, industrial-grade construction
- Field adjustable visual indicator for convenient viewing
- Continuous measuring range up to 216 in. (549 cm.)
- Compatible with electronic point switches and continuous level transmitters
- Media specific gravity as low as 0.54
- Electronic point level switches
- Continuous level transmitters
- High temperature insulation
Magnetic Level Indicators (MLIs) rely on a magnetic float that travels up and down with the liquid in a chamber, which is mounted to a pressure vessel or storage tank. The float contains a magnetic assembly that interacts with an externally-mounted visual indicator. As the float follows the liquid, the magnetic field causes highly contrasting flags in the visual indicator to rotate, therby displaying a highly visible representation of the level.
Magnetically-actuated external point switches and continuous transmitters can expand the function of the MLI by providing high or low alarms, as well as real-time level data supplied to the control room (4-20mA, HART, Foundation fieldbus).
Other approvals are available. Consult factory for more details.solicitar orcamento

The Agricultural Biotechnology Stewardship Technical Committee (ABSTC) has reported that corn Insect Resistance Management (IRM) compliance has remained stable through the period 2007 through 2009.
“Our industry is committed to ensuring that growers understand the importance of Bt technology stewardship so they continue in the future to provide benefits to growers and the environment ,” said Nick Storer, ABSTC Steering Committee Chairman. “While the overwhelming majority of growers are in full or partial compliance with IRM requirements, it is crucial that we all continue working together to sustain these important technologies.”
The ABSTC submitted the results to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the 2009 Bt corn IRM Compliance Assurance Program (CAP) Report, which includes an annual report of the compliance results and a summary of actions being taken by Bt registrants to promote and support IRM compliance for the upcoming growing season.
With the re-registration of many of the 20 percent refuge Bt corn products scheduled to take place this October, the ABSTC also announced it is working with EPA officials to identify additional measures to improve IRM compliance.
“In anticipation of the re-registration process, EPA has indicated a serious need to elevate comprehensive refuge compliance,” said Nathan Fields, director of biotechnology and economic analysis for the National Corn Growers Association. “Growers need to research and review their requirements and prepare to take the steps needed to ensure they will execute the correct IRM protocols.”
Growers and dealers should take the following steps to ensure they comply with IRM requirements:
• Carefully evaluate Bt corn field layouts and refuge planting strategies.
• Ensure the availability of sufficient refuge product choices to meet the 20 percent refuge requirement.
• Do not wait until after all your Bt corn is planted to begin planting refuge corn.
• Don’t risk losing access to Bt technology by not complying with the IRM requirements.
As ABSTC members prepare for the re-registration process, they are working closely with the EPA to take more steps to increase IRM compliance, including increased compliance monitoring and stronger oversight measures. “The majority of growers understand the importance of planting Bt corn refuges to combat pest resistance,” said Storer. “The success of future Bt technologies and refuge planting innovations depends on our responsible stewardship of current Bt technologies.”
