According to M&M, XUV700 is an all new global SUV set to redefine benchmarks in the SUV segment.
In the APV segment, alternatively-powered cars demand in the European Union continued to post strong growth of 29.7 per cent, mostly driven by the strong performance of battery which grew at 37.4 per cent. While hybrid grew at 37.1 per cent and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles grew at 24.5 per cent.
Demand for LPG and NGV vehicles also increased – up 11.8 per cent in the third quarter of the year – supported by growth of both natural gas and propane-fuelled cars.
All alternatively-powered vehicles (APV) combined accounted for 7.8 per cent of the market, and just 2 per cent of cars registered across the EU during the third quarter of 2018 was electrically-chargeable.
In terns of market share, the share of petrol-based PVs increased by almost 7 percentage points compared to the third quarter of 2017, now accounting for almost 58 per cent of the market.
Demand for petrol cars increased in all the EU member states – except Sweden – growing by 15.2 per cent in the region.
At the same time, diesel car sales declined in most of the EU countries except Denmark, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. As a result, the share of diesel cars fell from 43.1 per cent to 34.7 per cent of the market compared to the same quarter one year ago.
Demand for alternatively-powered vehicles significantly increased in all the major EU markets.

Welcome to How To: Simplify! This is my little corner of the Internet where I love to share tips, tricks, and recipes to help people enjoy a simple living lifestyle. My name is Jen and here’s my story….
- Who am I? I’m Jen Tilley—Wife. Mother (to a three-year-old son born in December 2013, a baby girl born in December 2016, and two rescue dogs). 30-Something Old Soul. Owner of How To: Simplify. Senior Account Manager (by day for Mom It Forward Media). Public Relations Professional. Project Manager. Writer (graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in journalism and a specialization in photojournalism). Photographer (here’s my photography site). Lover of chocolate, coffee, and all things simple. For more about my professional background, please click here.
- What do I cover? Beauty, fashion, food, cleaning, decorating, entertaining, home decor (both interior and exterior), organizing, and photography.
- Why do I write on this site? I’m all about sharing tips, tricks, and recipes that help people enjoy a simple living lifestyle. This site is a creative passion of mine. I love connecting, writing, sharing, and helping.
- When did I start the site? June of 2009. Wow, it’s been ages in blogging years!
- Where can you find me? I grew up in Michigan, moved to Virginia, lived in a D.C. rowhouse, and then moved to the countryside of Maryland where I currently reside with my family. I’m on Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter too!
- How often do I publish a post? I try to publish a post at least 3-4 times a week. I also have a few contributors on hand to help with content creation and writing.
So, there you have it. That’s me in a nutshell. I also have an FAQ page where I answer all sorts of fun questions.
And, for those of you wanting more of the story…
I started this blog back in 2009 when I found myself in a new city and away from family and friends. I’m super close with my family and many of my family members were (and still are) in Michigan and I was living in D.C. (now living in Maryland). I soon found it difficult to stay in touch with them which was a growing frustration.
I’ve always loved to bake and cook, my passion is photography, I get so much joy out of writing, and I love to tell stories through my writing. So, I figured, why not combine writing, baking, cooking, staying in touch with family and friends, and taking photographs into one place? That’s when I started my blog. From 2009 – January 2015, this blog was all about food. In February 2015, I re-launched the site as a lifestyle blog that is all about a simple living lifestyle.
P.S. Check out the my eBook on ways to Simplify Your Home. It’s filled with checklists, hacks, tricks, and home solutions. It’s only $2.99 … you will love it.
I must admit, I have an insatiable appetite for baking and cooking. I absolutely love preparing sweet and savory dishes for family and friends.
My philosophy when it comes to creating dishes is — the more from scratch the better. However, I know that many of us find it difficult to create amazing and delicious dishes due to either budget, time constraints or fear of the end result. I’m here to show you that it’s possible by sharing with you tips and tricks, as well as simple recipes that require very few ingredients (many of which you probably already have in your kitchen) and only a small amount of prep and cook time. I’m all about making time spent in the kitchen simple and enjoyable!
Originally from Michigan, I moved to D.C. and eventually ended up in Maryland. I was lucky enough to marry my best friend and we share our home with our son and two rescue dogs: a boxer mix named Caster and a lab mix named Tugboat. I love to decorate, clean, and organize the home at all times so I look forward to sharing tips with you.
I fell in love with photography at a young age as the dark room started to become my second home. While studying journalism at Michigan State University, I enrolled in a photojournalism class, switched to digital photography, and traveled to the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic to study photography.
I have studied photojournalism, as well as documentary, food, portraiture, and landscape photography. Samples of my work can be viewed on my photography site, Jen Tilley Photography. Each day, I’m learning, growing, and experimenting with photography since it is a true passion of mine.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I hope you enjoy what I share and embrace a simple living lifestyle.

Is there ice beneath the surface of a crater on Mars?
The Mars Express discovered rubble in the Martian crater about Hadley, which would indicate the presence of water ice beneath the surface of the planet leaving experts amazed.
According to the ESA: “This is debris torn from the smaller craters. Two of them, one to the west (left) of the main crater and another near its midpoint, are surrounded by a structure that seems to indicate the presence of volatile materials under the surface of the planet, probably ice water. “
Scientists believe that “the impacts that created these craters have started and subsurface ice melted and mixed with the materials of their environment to form a sort of ‘mud’ that spilled on the surface around them.”
And they think that “these structures may indicate the existence of water ice beneath the surface of Mars, at a depth of several hundred meters.”

To inspire the next generation of Egyptian talents and introduce them to the world of engineering, Siemens is hosting 35 students of the Thanaweya Amma top achievers ‘ the equivalent of high school in Egypt ‘ on a learning trip to Germany. During the trip, students, from across the country, will tour the company’s facilities and learn about innovative engineering technologies and career opportunities; while gaining a better understanding of the skills necessary for today’s manufacturing industry.
During the five-day trip, taking place from October 17-21, 2016, the students will be given the opportunity to tour Siemens Fortuna power plant, one of the world’s most energy efficient power plants, located in D’sseldorf, Germany. On the walking tours inside Siemens Gas and Steam Turbine Factories, in M’lheim and Berlin, students will view the production of steam and gas turbines and generators while learning about power generation and transmission systems.
‘There is a substantial shortage of skilled labor to fill the various roles in Egypt’s modern infrastructure. As an engineering company, we feel it’s important to show students the wide variety of career paths in the engineering industry and the talent that is needed to fill those opportunities,’ said Emad Ghaly, CEO of Siemens Egypt. ‘Our commitment is intended to fascinate these talented young people by technology, and to make technical specialties more interesting to them.’
Ahead of their visit to Germany, Ghaly met with some of the students for a two-hour open dialogue that addressed several topics, such as different career paths, future life aspirations and entrepreneurship.
As part of the agenda, students will also visit the Siemens Education Center in Hanover where they will have the opportunity to speak with other students and various technical professionals to hear about their careers as engineers, machine operators, programmers and service professionals.
Ali Abdullah, the student of the Faculty of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, Suez Canal University, described the trip as ‘a very good opportunity to have a better feeling of a real-life factory environment’. He added: ‘I have just joined the Faculty of Petroleum and Mining Engineering, and I think it’s very important for an engineer to have a first-hand experience through such a trip. It is very useful to see the factories and operating machinery, not just learn about them.’
As one of the biggest private training enterprises, during fiscal year 2014/2015, Siemens employed around 10,000 trainees and students on cooperative study.

Our City Our Truth, the latest production from City of Dreams, had two performances at the Barbour Room, Sage Gateshead. David Whetstone went along to the first of them.
It was a little over a year ago that City of Dreams became a reality, heralded as a 10-year mission to “make Newcastle and Gateshead the best place to be young”.
This would be done by ensuring that citizens under 25 got the chance to share their stories, thereby benefiting from our renowned cultural companies and venues, many of which support the venture.
What has been happening since that well attended Northern Stage launch in September 2018?
Our City Our Truth, given two performances at Sage Gateshead, was a chance to find out.
The programme of film, music and performance was put together by a team of young City of Dreams producers who worked with 16 organisations including schools, charities, youth groups and artists.
It was commissioned by Newcastle University as part of a programme to mark the opening of its Frederick Douglass Centre, commemorating the social justice campaigner and former slave who visited the city in 1846.
“The voice, agency and commitment of young people is changing the world right now,” asserted Prof Julie Sanders, deputy vice-chancellor of the university ahead of the first performance.
It’s a world they believe needs to be changed in all sorts of ways – socially, environmentally, politically.
“There has never been a more crucial time for young people to be heard,” said Clara Shield, trustee of the Young Women’s Film Academy, which filmed young people’s stories for the production.
According to City of Dreams executive producer Ben Dickenson, some 11,000 young people have contributed to various projects over the past year, telling of their worries and the challenges they face.
Discrimination, gender inequality and poverty had been “the standout issues of concern”, he said.
We filed into the Barbour Room (which would be up in the eaves of the Sage if it had any) and were handed headphones to catch the audio content of the production.
No seats. This was a promenade performance which led us from one side of a black curtain to the other – a metaphor, perhaps, for the things currently and conspicuously dividing us.
Wambui Hardcastle, a 19-year-old actor and writer and City of Dreams producer from Newcastle, opened and closed proceedings with some impassioned words infused with rhythm.
If you doubt that performance poetry (given impetus by the rise of rap) is alive and kicking in the North East, check her out.
The same goes for 22-year-old Papi Kanu who also took to the microphone to speak of the frustrations and iniquities of austerity. He speaks as if giving vent to inner frustration. On a lighter note, he wears a flat cap with aplomb.
Via screens hung on either side of the black curtain we heard the responses of students and schoolchildren to examples of unfairness and discrimination. It was moving – gut-wrenching on occasion – to hear them.
Most young people lean towards compassion and decency, but a few contributions had an edge to them, suggesting personal experience of discrimination or of being in the onerous position of carer.
Several girls bristled at the areas of employment traditionally barred to them. Some boys also thought this wasn’t fair.
It brought home to me the importance of role models. Young people need to hear and meet women and men who have proved that barriers can be overcome, blazing a trail for others.
It wasn’t all gloom. A sequence of animated illustrations of unfairness in society, reminiscent of Tony Hart’s plasticine Morph character, served up seriousness with a smile.
And if you get the chance to catch the young Streetwise Crew rap ensemble, don’t pass it up. Those youngsters could be going places.
Kema Kay closed proceedings with his song This is My City, which he also performed at the City of Dreams launch. Kema, who appears in the film I, Daniel Blake and had his own show at Live Theatre, is a fantastic role model for a young and creative Tyneside.
Outside the Barbour Room were displayed some of the written words and photography emanating from the first 12 months of this very worthwhile project and reflecting the input of some of the many cultural organisations which exist to enrich our lives.

Dutch Rhododendron grower Frans Kortenhorst was looking for a way to get rid of weeds and moss in his pots for good. He cut squares out of a roll of cling film and a bin liner and secured them around the top of the pot with a rubber band. In the middle he made a hole for the plant. Six years later, this idea has a name and it has the support of his horticultural supplier.
With his engineering background, rhododendron grower Frans Kortenhorst from Heeten in the east of the Netherlands is always looking for ways to innovate and automate his business processes. But his best ideas come during quiet periods at the nursery. He was fed up with having to remove weeds and moss by hand to get the plants ready for delivery. “Having 300,000 pots pass through your hands is a massive job that has to be done every year.” Laughing, he says that preferring an easy life makes a healthy starting point for innovation and encourages him to optimise and get creative.
Weed and moss problem
According to René Janssen, Substrate Product Manager at horticultural suppliers Horticoop, the Cleanpot System is an enormous improvement. Unsurprisingly, their enthusiasm has resulted in collaboration with Frans Kortenhorst.
The weed and moss problem in pot plant cultivation is tackled by covering the surface of the pots. Bark chips go quite a way to reducing weeds and moss, but not enough for Kortenhorst’s liking. “The retail channel is not very happy with the stuff either,” the grower says. “Bark makes a lot of mess: it lies loose on the surface of the pot, it falls on the shop floor, on the conveyor belt in the greenhouse and in the customer’s car – those kinds of complaints.”
Step by step
The idea of covering the pots with film was something Kortenhorst thought worth trying. He ran a trial with both transparent and dark film on five pots in the first year, followed by thirty pots in the second year. It immediately became clear that the film didn’t harm the plants. The transparent film was dropped straight away, but the dark film suppressed weed and moss growth completely. All the additional benefits were an added bonus. “We cut our watering by 25% and I got rid of Sciarid fly in one fell swoop,” he says.
Kortenhorst designed a machine to fit the film to the pots and built the prototype in his own workshop. “We introduced it at our nursery in stages – 10,000 pots in the first year, 100,000 in the second year, and our total production of 300,000 after that.”
Longer shelf life
Retailers have welcomed the system. Kortenhorst made sure of that before introducing it throughout his operation. Most of his dwarf rhododendrons are sold in Lidl Europe stores. The most positive aspects for the retailers were the longer shelf life and the fact that the pots were cleaner to work with. The shelf life of the plants is a good four days longer because the potting soil stays moist. What is more, most consumers don’t even notice the film to begin with when they buy the plant. They have to remove it when they get home, of course, along with the handle.
However, from the point of view of sustainability, it is still plastic, and that needs work. Kortenhorst: “We would really like to switch to a biodegradable material. But while the pot, the label and the cover are still all made of plastic, it is better if the film is plastic too. Then they can all go into the recycling together.”
Wide range of uses
A substrate specialist from Lentse Potgrond (a division of Horticoop) spotted the film on the pots during a routine customer visit around six years ago, and it immediately caught his attention. Janssen envisages a wide range of uses for cover film in the trade channel. “We were very impressed with the idea,” he says. “After all, the use of film also has a bearing on the growing medium. It doesn’t physically touch it, as there has to be a 2 cm air buffer between the film and the potting compost for oxygen exchange and to stop mildew from forming.”
Horticoop is keen to raise awareness of the Cleanpot System because it could have potential for many growers and groups of crops. The company has therefore worked with Kortenhorst, the inventor, and machine builders Linthorst Snijtechniek to develop a machine that combines potting up, applying the film and planting the plants in one fluid movement.
Apart from the great advantage of reducing moss and weed growth, the initiators report a whole host of other beneficial effects that occur in the pot. First off, Janssen mentions the homogeneous moisture distribution in the pot. That is because there is no transpiration taking place; the water condenses against the film and drops back into the growing medium. It also reduces the amount of crop protection products, water and fertiliser needed and extends the shelf life of the plant.
According to Janssen, this is an interesting concept for many ornamentals. From the point of view of sustainability, the water efficiency aspect is something that is bound to appeal to all growers, he believes. “It is also a sustainable way of dealing with soil pests. There are some specific reasons as well. In cyclamen, for example, the film can prevent a botrytis attack on the bottom leaves. And in orchids the system can stop roots crossing into other pots. Sometimes the roots from one pot will grow into other pots nearby, and when you pick up the pot, you drag the other plant along with it.”
The more experience growers gain with this system, the longer the list of applications and benefits gets. Bunnik Plants from Bleiswijk in the west of the Netherlands are also testing the system. Improving shelf life in the supply chain is an important issue for them. Kortenhorst again: “If it was only about moss and weeds, it would have died a slow death. But when it is a question of sales or no sales, then it’s a no-brainer.”
Running own business
Kortenhorst runs the 2.5 hectare rhododendron nursery with his sister and brother-in-law. Plastic film greenhouses are not what you’d necessarily expect to see in the middle of verdant countryside resplendent with farms, villas, cows and sheep. But the oldest greenhouses have been here for almost 30 years.
His sister Gonny set up the nursery after completing her horticultural training, on the spot where their parents’ cows used to graze. Her husband Jos joined her five years later. And five years after that Frans decided to give up his job as a mechanical engineer at a machinery factory and join them. “What attracted me to running your own business is that you can shape it the way you want it.”
Time for innovation
Today’s nursery looks nothing like the one that started out all those years ago. Back then they grew a wide range of plants which they sold locally, focusing mainly on the retail market. Twenty years ago they decided to sell their products via Flora Holland and gradually reduced the size of their product range. These days Kortenhorst is well known as a specialist grower of dwarf rhododendrons. The plants go to retail and all sales take place by auction. The bulk of the plants are exported.
With the exception of the two busy periods – when the cuttings are planted and in the selling season – the three entrepreneurs do all the work themselves. “We are very happy with our present size; we wouldn’t want to get any bigger. We make time to innovate, which we think is very important and fits well with who we are,” Kortenhorst concludes.
It started out as a solution for suppressing weeds and moss in pots, but the system created by grower and inventor Frans Kortenhorst is much more than that. With a simple piece of plastic film on the pot, the benefits are there for the asking. The system has nothing but beneficial effects during production, for retailers and for the consumer at home, he says. The concept also offers scope for a wider range of applications in horticulture.

Searles Valley Minerals reasserted that its right to pump water from the Indian Wells Valley during public comment at the IWV Groundwater Authority meeting on Oct. 17
Tom Bunn, SVM’s attorney, cited that this right trumps the Navy’s 1943 federal reserve rights, the year that the naval air facility at China Lake was established.
The claim comes at a time when IWVGA’s groundwater sustainability plan modeling scenarios have proposed groundwater pumping limitations. SVM is among a group of “non-domestic” pumpers who would be assigned a block of groundwater; once that amount is pumped, they would be limited to augmented water supply, which could include imported water sources.
Bunn stressed his message was about the water allocated to SVM, not the domestic water the company passes on to Searles Domestic Water Company for Trona and the rest of the Searles Valley communities.
Searles Valley has already established in a legal letter to the IWVGA that its water rights precede the Navy’s right, pumping water for more than a century. Bunn said that a superior claim is undisputed.
Bunn contested some of the statements in the sustainable yield allocation chart provided to the IWVGA’s policy advisory committee in October stipulates.
The draft intro for the chart states that the Navy’s federal reserve right “ is superior to all other water rights in the Basin, with the exception of those rights that were in existence at the time at the Base was founded. This water right extends not only to the Base’s current pumping, but to all the water that is necessary for the Base to carry out its mission.”
It also states that the IWVGA lacks a method to determine the merits of SVM’s dispute.
“You’d expect to see an allocation for Searles at the top of the chart, followed by the Navy federal reserve right,” Bunn said. “But you don’t — you see the Navy at the top with a zero allocation for Searles Valley Minerals.”
He said the Navy is mentioned to have sovereign immunity.
“Sovereign immunity just means that the Navy can’t be sued, except in certain circumstances,” Bunn said. “It doesn’t prevent (the board) from allocating water in authority with your analysis of water rights law just as the document says you do and is your legal duty to do.”
The chart states that SVM currently pumps 2,700 acre-feet of water a year. Historically, he said, SVM pumped half that prior to the Navy’s presence in the valley basin.
“Even with an allocation of in that amount, Searles will have to make up the difference and that won’t be easy,” Bunn said. “I need to be clear to you all here — Searles cannot survive with a zero allocation. It will shut down.”
He added the good news: the “problem” is easy to fix.
“Just give Searles an allocation for its pre-Navy production right,” he said. “If you change nothing else on that chart, it would mean the IWV Water District would require a somewhat larger amount of so-called augmented supply and Searles would require somewhat less.”
Dunn noted the solution “would allow Searles to survive and would be consistent with your duty to allocate water in accordance with water right (law).”
The IWVGA’s development of the groundwater sustainability plan will include provisions for augmented water supply. The largest emphasis is placed on imported water — which will be costly no matter the source — but other options include recycled or treated wastewater and stormwater capture.
Those two are drops in the bucket compared to the need for imported water, which will offset a curtailed groundwater pumping in the coming decades.
At past meetings, Stetson Engineers, Inc president Steve Johnson, the IWVGA’s water resources manager, has stated that imported and alternate water sources will be crucial for the future of the basin under the state-mandated sustainability plan.
Without it, things would look grimmer, water pumping would be even more sharply curtailed and could cost much more.
However, the source of imported water remains unknown and the conceptual costs for infrastructure alone high — connecting to the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency from California City could cost $177 million and a similar connection for the Los Angeles Aqueduct would cost $55 million.
On top of those costs are potential lawsuits that will, in theory, contest the GSP’s measures.
“Looking ahead, I’m just seeing that there might be significant legal exposure just by the number of the closed sessions you guys are having,” said Josh Nugent of Mojave Pistachios and Nugent Farms during the board’s discussion of the IWVGA budget. He asked whether the groundwater authority will have a large pool of money set aside to contend with lawsuits.”
Kern County First District Supervisor Mick Gleason, one of the IWVGA board members, noted there could be lawsuits coming down the pipe in the future. He added that the GSP will include budget provisions to generate revenue for everything from legal defense and remediation costs to the administration of groundwater authority.

25 top Search Hollow Franco Chain Necklace In 14k Gold Inspirations
By Posted on
Hollow Franco Chain Necklace In 14K Gold – A necklace is surely an post of jewelry which is worn all-around the neck. Necklaces may well are already one of the earliest types of adornment worn by humans. They frequently serve ceremonial, religious, magical, or funerary functions and therefore are also used as symbols of wealth and status, offered that they’re usually produced of treasured metals and stones.
The main component of a necklace could be the band, chain, or cord that wraps all over the neck. These are most usually rendered in treasured metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Necklaces typically have additional attachments suspended or inset in to the necklace itself. These attachments typically consist of pendants, lockets, amulets, crosses, and precious and semi-precious products such as diamond, pearls, rubies, emeralds, garnets, and sapphires.
A necklace is usually a sort of jewelry worn suspended all-around the neck. It’s most usually created in flexible varieties such being a chain, as a string of beads, pearls, gemstones, or other pure elements, or manufactured of a additional inflexible band of metal embellished with gemstones, pearls, beads, or other tactics this kind of as engraving, filigree, repoussé, granulation, for example. Lengths of necklaces differ, and unique varieties linked to extremes in length range from a short choker or dog collar necklace that fits appropriate all over the key portion with the neck to a longer neck chain or string of beads identified as a sautoir, in some cases worn hanging right down to or previous the waist.

Delhi NCR-based startup D2C fashion brand D’chica has raised Rs 1.62 crore from an Indian revenue-based financier, Velocity. The startup plans to use the raised capital to scale its hiring and marketing efforts.
Founded in 2019 by Vani Chugh Kabra and Richa Kapila, D’Chica is a fashion D2C brand that sells products in categories, including trendy and comfy innerwear sportswear, lounge, and footwear.
The startup sells its products on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Myntra, Ajio, Firstcry, Jabong, and Zivame and also exports its innerwear range to US, UK, and Germany. It claims to have closed FY22 with Rs 6.6 crore in revenue and aims to reach Rs 13 crore in topline in the current fiscal year (FY23).
“We chose revenue-based financing to retain our company’s autonomy and keep control in our hands. We didn’t want to go the traditional VC route until we had achieved our targeted run rate. We raised our pre-series A only after we had solid proof of concept with our ARR and vision,” said Richa Kapila, co-founder of D’chica.
“Velocity’s support has been monumental in boosting our operations and giving us the tools to reach greater heights. With this funding, we will ramp up our marketing and hiring efforts,” Richa added.
“Bengaluru-based fintech, Velocity is a revenue-based financier. Since commencing operations in early 2020, the company today has a repeat customer rate of 78%. “We are thrilled to be partnering with D’chica. “We’re confident in the founders and their approach to catering specifically to digital natives – from strategy through business development,” said Abhiroop Medhekar, chief executive officer of Velocity.

The Contribution of Health Economics to Health Planning Health planning is basically about choice: choice between one future or another; choice between various ways of achieving that future. Health economics is also interested in choice, so there is an obvious affinity between health economics and health planning. The growth of health expenditure and of its share in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a phenomenon which is constantly the subject of comments and discussions among politicians, administrators and academics in many countries. One approach to this issue has been international comparisons of health by:
The total health expenditure was % of GDP during the HES /99 (with per capita total expenditure on health at US$ average exchange rate or international dollar rate), and has increased to % of GDP in (with per capita total expenditure on health at US$ average exchange rate or international dollar rate).Cited by: The importance of planning in the health sector has become widely recognized in recent years. Planning involves deciding how resources should be allocated and determining how to implement these decisions. For developing countries, which are attempting to improve their poor levels of health with extremely limited resources, judicious health planning may be by:

The international comparisons examine the relative importance of these health inputs across the country groups while country-specific studies examine the health inputs and public expenditure effects on various regions within a country.
International Comparisons. Healthcare human resource planning is an important aspect of health policy. Its importance arises in particular from the long time-delays, high-costs for training, and high proportion of healthcare expenditure allocated to it.
Many countries experience workforce shortages in the healthcare sector, especially among nursing : John Pastor Ansah, Victoria Koh, Steffen Bayer, Paul Robert Harper, David Matchar. 4 Thus, to study the factors, by considering the states as a sample unit, that determine the health expenditure can provide the valid interpretation of our discussion.

Just 12 percent of California homeowners have earthquake insurance, down from the 30 percent who had policies when the 1994 Northridge quake struck, according to an insurance industry study released Wednesday.
Candysee Miller, executive director for the Insurance Information Network of California, said the absence of a major quake over the past decade was partially to blame.
“Historically, the longer California goes between major quakes, the more homeowners drop their earthquake coverage,” Miller said. The Insurance Information Network of California is a nonprofit, industry-supported group.
The relatively high price of policies on the seismically active West Coast also drives away some homeowners, while others mistakenly believe that their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance will cover earthquake damage.
Like flood insurance, earthquake insurance must be purchased separately, according to the Insurance Information Network of California.
An IINC poll in 2006 found that about 31 percent of Californians thought they had earthquake insurance, while only 13 percent owned any.
Earthquake insurance rates are determined by varying methods by every insurance provider, but tend to be based on the location as well as the construction and age of the house, according to the California Earthquake Authority.
Later-model homes tend to be cheaper to insure than older ones.
Construction features that help a home withstand an earthquake and make it cheaper to insure include:
A slab foundation instead of a raised one;
One-story tall instead of multistory;
And wood-frame construction instead of unreinforced masonry.

Wind is an important element that influences many aspects of the daily life of living beings. There is a direct relationship between wind and meteorological phenomena, the force of the wind manages to drive the rain-laden clouds and intervenes in the increase in temperature.
Wind can be described as one of the processes of the atmosphere, which seeks to maintain the balance between the natural elements of the planet. Here are some interesting facts about the wind and its types.
What is the wind?
Wind is a current of air that is generated, moves and causes significant effects in the Earth’s atmosphere. In addition, wind is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs as a result of the movements of the earth (rotation and translation).
If the right atmospheric conditions are combined, the strength and speed of the wind would increase so much that it could become a threat to human life.
Types of winds
The movement of an air mass from one area to another governs the classification of the various types of wind, which are determined by the size of the route they make. For this reason they are divided into 3 large groups: planetary, regional and local.
They are generated as a result of the rotational movement of our planet, this type of wind circulates moving over large areas of the earth’s surface, where they are characterized by maintaining a constant direction, which contributes to the transport of a large amount of heat energy.
The planetary winds are grouped into a classification according to their specific characteristics:
The area where the trade winds move goes from the tropics to Ecuador as part of their journey, which is so extensive that it covers a large part of the earth’s surface, they pass over large bodies of water where they are loaded and then returned to the land in abundant rains.
Usually the trade winds move steadily in a northwesterly or southwesterly direction.
In a similar way to the trade winds, they travel from the tropics but with a relevant difference, the contralysians move in the direction of the cold polar circles.
They are warm type winds, loaded with humidity that will transform into abundant rains.
They are generated at the poles of the planet, towards the polar circles; They are very cold winds, the product of air currents that originate from the inclination of the Earth’s axis.
These are winds whose most outstanding characteristic is that their direction is not permanent, that is to say that it changes according to the seasons of the year; They can also change periodically at some point in the day. Regional winds are the element that most affects the climate conditions of a territory.
They are produced depending on the place where they are generated, they can be oceanic as in the coasts or continental typical of the most remote regions, which change direction day and night.
They originate in areas of low atmospheric pressure, which attracts winds with hotter air masses, which rise because they encounter a temperature that is colder in their environment. All of these conditions cause swirling winds to occur.
They are characteristic of areas where atmospheric pressure is high. Some anticyclones produce a frigid wind, but they do not cause bad weather, they usually do not bring precipitation but they do have an effect on the ocean currents.
They originate when in the summer time the wind moves from south to north, loaded with humidity and generating large amounts of rain. In winter they are dry and cold.
They occur according to the geographical characteristics of a specific region, they are governed by the amount of moisture they collect from the water masses that they cross.

Dancing With the Stars season 29 premieres on September 14, and fans of the celebrity dance competition are eagerly awaiting the cast reveal. The DWTS cast will be announced on an episode of Good Morning America, airing on Wednesday, September 2.
Ahead of the official, full-cast announcement, here’s what we know:
Kaitlyn Bristowe & AJ McClean Have Been Confirmed as DWTS Season 29 Celebrity Cast Members
Ahead of the big reveal on Good Morning America, two members of the season’s celebrity cast were revealed.
On the episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! that featured Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season as The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison asked Bristowe if she’d want to be a part of the new DWTS cast. Excitedly, she accepted the invitation.
On August 27, a second cast member was confirmed: Backstreet Boys’ AJ McClean. After making the announcement as a remote guest on Good Morning America, McClean shared his excitement with his social media following. In an Instagram post, he wrote, “We’re going for the mirrorball, baby!! I am so grateful to @dancingabc and @abcnetwork for the opportunity to be joining this season’s cast of #DWTS. I also want to thank my wife and my two girls for letting Daddy go on this new adventure. I’m doing it ALL for you! Get ready, BSB Army, this is going to be a wild ride. LET’S DO THIS!!!!!!”
Other rumored celebrities in talks to join the cast include Carole Baskin and Chrishnell Stause.
‘Good Morning America’ Announced the Season 29 DWTS Pros, Including Fan-Favorite Returns & 2 New Dancers
While the majority of the celebrity cast has been kept a secret, ABC has already revealed the professionals on board to compete this season. The pros were announced on Good Morning America, and the announcement brought with it the return of fan-favorites like Sharna Burgess, Keo Motsepe, and Artem Chigvintsev.
There are also two new dancers joining the pro cast this season: Daniella Karagach (who is the wife of pro Pasha Pashkov) and the show’s first Black female professional, Britt Stewart.
The season 29 pros are: Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Cheryl Burke, Artem Chigvintsev, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Sasha Farber, Jenna Johnson, Daniella Karagach, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd, Pasha Pashkov, Gleb Savchenko, Britt Stewart, and Emma Slater. The season features three married couples among the pro cast, Chmerkovskiy and Johnson, Farber and Slater, and Pashkov and Karagach.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and revised safety and production measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the DWTS season, those couples will have to be spending time apart as no pros are allowed to live together during filming. Of this change, Slater told Good Morning America, “It’s going to be so different because we can’t actually interact and even prep with each other, which is something completely different, but we’re doing everything we can to keep safe. There’s going to be a lot of FaceTiming.”
The season 29 premiere of Dancing With the Stars airs on September 14 at 8/7c on ABC.

Use National flag and ensign
Adopted 7 June 2002
Design Three horizontal stripes of
red, white, and green with a black
vertical rectangle on the hoist side bearing
the national symbols of Heloin with a thin
white stripe separating it from the tricolour
The national flag of Heloin is a tricolour of red, white, and green with a black rectangle containing the national symbols of Heloin at it's base separated from the rest of the flag by a thin white strip. The present design was adopted on 7 June 2002 as part of agreements that ended the 3rd Heloian Bush War. The national symbols of Heloin, as they are called, seen on the hoist of the flag are a Lion, a Prince's Flag, and a Nguni shield.
The flag of Heloin has always been a continuous issue to the people of Heloin. Following independence in 1971 Heloin's white minority government adopted a flag identical to that of Rhodesia with only a different coat of arms to seat them apart. With the end of the 3rd Heloian Bush War only a year prior a it was decided that a new flag needed to be chosen for Heloin. On January 28th, 2002 Prime minister James Lambert announced a vote on new flags for Heloin on March 30, 2002, the thirty first anniversary of UDI. The winning flag received 72% of the vote and was chosen, being adopted by Parliament on June 7th, 2002. Part of the Coat of Arms were added to the flag in late August, 2002.
Design and symbolism
The colours of the flag of Heloin are made up of Pan-African colours and the National Colours of Heloin. The colours of the tricolour hold a important place in Heloin's past. The Green represents the prosperity of the country and it's history before the Bush Wars. The Red for those who lost there lives for Heloin in all wars and Heloin's future that was accomplished by their sacrifice. The White for the end of War and the start of a new Heloin. The Black rectangle at the flags base is for the black majority and the white stripe stands for the white minority. The national symbols of Heloin that are contained in the flags hoist each represent one of Heloin's main ethnic groups. The Lion with an Ivory tusk for the British Empire that once ruled the land. The Prince's Flag for the Dutch Voortrekkers who built the cities and carved the land among themselves. And a representation of a Nguni shield to show the history before the arrival of Europeans.

January 22, 2010
Several agriculture-related meetings and events of interest to a wide variety of people are slated for the coming days, according to personnel at Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
“There’s something for almost everybody coming up fairly quickly,” said Dr. Juan Anciso, an AgriLife Extension vegetable specialist in Hidalgo County.
The first on the calendar is the 64th annual Subtropical Plant Science Society meeting to be held from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at the Texas A&M-Kingsville Citrus Center in Weslaco. The Center is located at 312 N. International Blvd, just north of Expressway 83.
“This dates back to the 1940s and is still going strong,” Anciso said. “Speakers will address items of concern to our horticultural community, including organic production, the potential for new crops here, native seeds and plants, learning to live with citrus greening and other interesting topics.”
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Steven H. Tallant, president of Texas A&M-Kingsville, who will discuss his vision of education in the Valley, Anciso said.
For more information, contact the Citrus Center at 956-968-2132.
The next event is a very popular gardening class, Texas Master Gardener, that starts Jan. 27 in Cameron County and on Feb. 18 in Hidalgo County, according to Dr. Enrique Perez, an AgriLife Extension agent in Cameron County.
“Those who sign up for the Texas Master Gardener classes will increase their knowledge and skills in urban horticulture, specifically vegetable gardening and landscape gardening,” he said. “Students will learn about the different plant materials and vegetable varieties that do well in the Rio Grande Valley.”
The Cameron County class will meet on the third Wednesday of every month through July from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning Jan. 27 at the Cameron County annex office at 1390 W. Expressway 83 in San Benito.
Cost of the class is $140. For more information, call 956-361-8236.
A Texas Master Gardener class in Hidalgo County will meet from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Thursday through April beginning Feb. 18, according to Barbara Storz, an AgriLife Extension agent in Hidalgo County.
Depending on activities, the class will meet at the AgriLife Extension office in Edinburg at 100 E. Cano St., or at North San Juan Park, 511 E. Earling (the Nolana extension) between Raul Longoria and Cesar Chavez roads, some two miles east of U.S. 281.
“The cost of the class is $150. The deadline to apply is Feb. 12 and I’d encourage folks to sign up soon because these classes, whether in Cameron on Hidalgo counties, are very popular,” Storz said.

The next large event, of interest to consumers and professionals alike, is the ninth Sustainable Ag and Organic Gardening Conference to be held at 8 a.m. Feb. 4-6 at the Echo Hotel in Edinburg, 1903 S. Closner Blvd., Storz said.
“We’ve confirmed so many fascinating speakers for this one,” Storz said. “It’s a must-attend event. This conference is a unique opportunity for Valleyites to learn so much interesting and beneficial information about nutrition, food quality and food production.”
Authors and experts among the speakers will discuss the link between the health of food and humans, organic vegetable farming in Austin, producing high-value crops on 2 to 5 acres, high-tech organic production and funding for organic producers.
The cost of the conference depends on activities selected, including tours and a trade show, Storz said.
For more information, call the AgriLife Extension office in Edinburg at 956-383-1026, or visit the conference Web site at www.sustainableagrgv.org.
Finally, Anciso will host a produce quality assurance conference beginning at 8 a.m. Feb. 18-19 at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Weslaco, 2401 E. Highway 83.
“This conference will be an effort to harmonize on-farm food safety practices,” he said. “The idea is to come up with one set of rules that everybody can agree to in order to reduce the likelihood of food-borne pathogens at the farm level.”
The conference is expected to attract some 60 buyers from throughout the country who buy produce for large supermarket and restaurant chains, Anciso said.

Saturday’s American Horse Racing Tips
Sky Sports Racing have live coverage of US Racing tonight and we have covered FOUR meetings and picked out our best bets.
TONS OF GRADED ACTION STATESIDE TONIGHT! Lots to look forward to in America with racing from Tampa, Woodbine, Gulfstream and Santa Anita. Daily Double pays 4/1!
NAP – Best selection of the evening
Race 6 Santa Anita 11.33 Express Train (4/5)
Progressive sort who showed a great attitude to bring up the hat-trick at the top level here last month; hard to oppose in current form and under a stalking ride he should take all the beating as he pounces late on.
This is a good race with some nice types lining up but none more so than EXPRESS TRAIN who is looking to make it four straight. He won a Grade 1 last time and drops back down in grade here so should have that class edge on his rivals. He knuckled down well last time and if reproducing that sort of form should have too much for these rivals. Shaaz is unexposed after just the 3 runs winning 2 of them so looks the main danger if improving again but make no mistake this is a step up. Stilleto Boy was third behind the selection last time so has ground to make up. Spielberg also ties in with that form so looks held. Holden The Lute won last time but this is a great deal tougher.
NB – Second best selection of the day
Race 10 Gulfstream Park 10.53 King Cab (7/4)
Improving sort who has won 2 of his last 3 and clocked a career best at Tampa last month winning head in chest; open to further improvement after just 5 starts and if bringing his best form here will take the beating.
We head to Gulfstream Park on Saturday for our second best bet and KING CAB looks set to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. He impressed last time and to think that was just his fifth start there should be a fair bit more to come yet. Golden Juan will push hard from the gate and that should give him a lovely toe in. Well Defined was only beaten narrowly when last seen and some of his form stacks up so he looks one of the lively dangers. Rough Entry won 5 in a row last campaign but was out of sorts here last time and has a bit to prove off the back of that. If he can bounce back then he would have a say in the outcome here but hard to warm to in current form. Hard to fancy much else in here.
The Daily Double consists of both the NAP & NB and is a great way of covering our two best bets of the night to maximise profit.
All bets Stateside on Saturday night
We’ve covered every race across FOUR meetings in America on Saturday night.

Bangladesh faces both challenges and opportunities for agriculture-led growth and food security. Since 2000, its gross domestic product has grown at an average rate of six percent. Rice production has tripled over the last 30 years. The extreme ($1.25 per day) poverty rate fell from about 59 percent in 2000 to about 43 percent in 2010.
Yet Bangladesh remains the most densely populated country in the world, with 157 million people living in a land area roughly the size of Iowa. And it has one of the highest rates of undernutrition in the world, with poverty, lack of access to agricultural land, and
Results by the numbers*
Bangladesh has tremendous potential for agriculture-led growth, with fertile soil, abundant water, strong research and extension institutions and expanding infrastructure. Over the past several decades, the Government of Bangladesh has adjusted its policies in the agriculture sector to increase private sector participation and reduce tariffs and price controls. The Government of Bangladesh has demonstrated strong leadership in the area of food security and finalized its Country Investment Plan in March 2011.

It is generally agreed that crystal nucleation during urolithiasis is heterogeneous. However, the nature of these nucleators is still unknown. Membrane lipids have been histochemically and biochemically demonstrated at physiological as well as pathological calcification sites (1) and have been implicated in nucleation of crystals in a number of bio-mineralization systems. Acidic phospholipids and lipid extracts from calcified tissues have been shown to initiate in vitro calcium phosphate formation from metastable calcium phosphate solutions (1). We have recently demonstrated the presence of lipids in various types of human urinary stones (2). In the present study, we will present additional information regarding lipids of calcium oxalate stones.

Insulin resistance as precursor of type II diabetesOne of the main reasons for the development of metabolic diseases connected with adiposity is a higher level of fatty acids in the blood. These lipids are released from the adipose tissue by the activity of an enzyme called Adipose Triglyceride Lipase (ATGL). “If a person is overweight, an excess of liberated fatty acids released into the blood prevents the absorption of glucose into the muscle and fat tissue. Insulin resistance then develops, a precursor of type II diabetes,” explains Martina Schweiger, first and corresponding author of the publication. Furthermore, there is an increased influx of fatty acids into tissue that does not have the primary function of storing lipids – for example, into the liver. A build-up of triglyceride in this organ prevents it from functioning, resulting in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
No ATGL, no insulin resistance“As the ATGL determines the amount of liberated fatty acids entering the blood, we wanted to inhibit this enzyme in order to treat the metabolic consequences of being overweight,” says Schweiger. In 2013, the working groups of Zimmermann and Breinbauer had already succeeded in synthesising a molecule called atglistatin, which prevents ATGL activity. In their new study, the researchers have investigated the effect of the atglistatin inhibitor using an animal model. “By turning off the ATGL, we were able to completely prevent insulin resistance and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Furthermore, there was a reduction in weight, despite a rich diet,” explains Schweiger.
A crucial discovery was that ATGL must not be completely blocked. “If ATGL is inhibited completely, this does also lead to an improvement in obesity and insulin resistance, but causes a fatty heart, which can be fatal,” says the researcher. However, short-term inhibition does not have any dangerous side effects. “The absorption of the active ingredient atglistatin blocks the enzyme for six hours. After that, the body breaks down the inhibitor naturally. Then ATGL continues to work,” explains Schweiger.

On the Morgan Three Wheeler Racing facebook page recently someone asked a question what grease they used in the bevel boxes of their Morgans.
This is the old 2 and 3 speeder Morgans, not 5 speeders.
A reply came back:
"He used to use Castrol Impérvia MMO which was brilliant. No longer available. For the past 10 years he has been using a semi fluid grease Millers Delta 00EP (see photo). It seems to work fine and does not leak out much". I am ignoring the leak comment for the moment !
Now I am very aware early 5 speeder quaif boxes had what was described at the time as 'a brown gunky grease' supplied on delivery , with poor results.
To my knowledge it was never determined exactly what this was, most owners flushing it out, and replacing with heavy oils which I still use to date.
Having done some research ( i.e. googling about ) on applications for semi fluid grease, motor applications do include differentials and bevel boxes.
The EP stands for extreme pressure, like the oils we are used to.
The 00 in front of the EP is the grade of the grease, the NLGI number ( National Lubricating Grease Number) .
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLGI_consistency_number
a simplified table of grease grades is available.
NLGI number Appearance Consistency food analog
000 fluid cooking oil
00 semi-fluid apple sauce
0 very soft brown mustard
1 soft tomato paste
2 "normal" grease peanut butter
3 firm vegetable shortening
4 very firm frozen yogurt
5 hard smooth pâté
6. very hard cheddar cheese
I am wondering if the first generation of quiafe boxes were filled with too hard a grease, which didnt lubricate sufficiently.
And would a lower NLGI number with a semi fluid consistency , as used by the older Morgan racers, might be beneficial and quieten and cool things down a bit?
I am very temped at next oil change too try some 00EP as a controlled experiment , a brown mustard or even apple sauce !!!!
I was wondering if anyone has been down this route before and tried semi fluid grease in a quaif box, rather than oil ?


Use & Purpose
In applications of soil reinforcement and the use of geogrids in engineering structures such as slope stabilisation and segmental block retaining wall construction the geogrid to be used will be subject to constant load over long periods of time. The load will be exerted in one direction only i.e. at a normal direction to the structure face direction. Global Synthetics are able to offer ACEGrid® which is a uniaxial, polyester geogrid in a range of strengths appropriate to this market segment and ensuring that the design strength of the geogrid may be maintained over very long periods of time (may be 100 years).
ACEGrid® is an engineered woven geogrid that has exceptionally high strength characteristics at low levels of strain. The product is additionally coated with a polymer that provides high resistance to degradation in soil environments as well as providing additional UV and mechanical damage protection to the fibres. The ACEGrid® geogrids may be constructed with tensile strengths up to 900 kn/m. Strains generated at ultimate tensile strength are typically less than 10%. being composed of high tenacity polyester fibres they deliver low creep strains when subject to high tensile loads. Creep strains of less than 1% at design loads of 40% of the initial characteristic tensile strength at 120 year design life, are obtained.
ACEGrid® is made from high tenacity polyester fibres that have a demonstrated history of performance both here in Australia and around the world. ACEGrid® has the ability to carry significant loads imposed upon the product from a range of soil reinforcement applications including slopes and walls and provide innovative solutions in applications that will benefit from the inclusion of a tensile element within the soil structure.
ACEGrid® is suitable for use in short term as well as very long term ground support applications with design lives in excess of 120 years. The product may be manufactured for site specific requirements. the rolls are available in wide widths up to 5.0m to minimise wastage from overlap requirements.
Long Term Soil Reinforcement in Applications of:
– Steepened Reinforced Slopes
– Retaining Walls
– Veneer Reinforcement of Landfills
– Soil Reinforcement over piled foundations
– Support over voids
– Capping of Talings Ponds
– Basal Reinforcement of Soft Soil
ACEGrid® has been exhaustively tested and used in a wide variety of soil reinforced structures throughout the world. Specifically ACEGrid® has been used in a significant number of structures throughout Australasia.
ACEGrid® is very easy to install and is available in wide width rolls to minimise wastage during installation.
ACEGrid® – TOYOTA Forklift Site
In 2011, the Toyota Forklift site at Larapinta was to be raised and leveled as part of the site development. The existing boundary was to be raised to allow a concreted hardstand to be constructed above the retaining wall maintaining as much usable area as possible on the hardstand area.View More Case Studies
