- The Lamar Valley is located in the northeastern part of Yellowstone National Park.
- The road through Lamar is open year-round.
- Famous for its wildlife viewing opportunities including bison, elk, grizzlies, and grey wolves.
- The Lamar Valley River offers excellent trout fishing.
Over thousands of years, the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park was shaped by a mountain glacier, which left several boulders and glacial ponds in its wake. Now, this valley is famous for its wildlife viewing opportunities of bison, elk, grizzly bears, and grey wolves. If you take a trip to Yellowstone, visit the Lamar Valley, and don’t forget the binoculars!
The Lamar Valley is located northeast section of Yellowstone National Park between Cooke City and Tower Junction on Highway 212. It can be accessed by heading west from the northeast entrance of the park.
The road passing through the Lamar Valley is open year-round, despite temporary closures for severe winter weather. The best time to view wildlife is during the early morning and late evening, when the animals are stirring.
Because the Lamar Valley is located in Yellowstone National Park, the park entry fee is mandatory and lasts 7 days. A private vehicle permit is $25, individual permit (for entering by foot, bicycle or motorcycle) is $12, and groups are $12/person.
The Lamar Valley Yellowstone National Park has world-renowned wildlife viewing opportunities. Bison, elk, coyote, osprey, bald eagles, antelope, moose and black bears are common.

The wildlife can be seen from the road or walking trails in this area.
The Lamar Valley in Yellowstone is also home to the Lamar Buffalo Ranch Historic District, a reserve ran between 1907 and the 1950s to promote the dwindling buffalo species. Four original buildings still remain today and can be seen from the road.
The Yellowstone Lamar Valley is also known for its excellent trout fishing. The Lamar Valley River boasts rainbow and cutthroat trout often 12 inches in length. Because it is fed by the snowmelt of the Beartooth Mountains, it is best to fish this river between June and July. The walking trails lead from the road to the river.

Greece’s bond yield curve is showing signs of returning to normality.
The yield on Greece’s securities due in 2019 fell below that on the nation’s 10-year debt on Monday as European Union officials said the nation’s next 2 billion-euro ($2.3 billion) aid payment is under discussion and may be approved next week.
As recently as July, when Greece was locked in negotiations to secure more aid, yields on the shorter-dated bonds were more than 18 percentage points higher, regarded as a sign of bond- market stress.
Greek bonds have rallied after the nation voted Alexis Tsipras and his Coalition of the Radical Left, or SYRIZA, into power for the second time in eight months, amid speculation that the outcome of the election won’t derail Greece’s international bailout.
That’s in a contrast to the previous vote in January, which prompted a selloff in the securities after it first brought the anti-austerity SYRIZA party to power.
“The front end has rallied nicely as concerns have faded following the deal this summer and the election results which have somewhat strengthened the position of Tsipras,” said Vincent Chaigneau, the global head of rates and foreign-exchange strategy at Societe Generale SA. “The market is hopeful that the imminent decision on the next bailout payment to Greece will be positive.”
The yield on Greece’s 4.75 percent debt maturing in April 2019 fell 63 basis points, or 0.63 percentage point, to 7.51 percent as of 12:36 p.m. London time, with the price of the bonds at 91.76 percent of face value.
The 10-year yield was at 7.59 percent, leaving the yield on the 2019 securities below that on Greece’s 10-year bonds for the first time this year, according to closing price data.
At 8.15 percent, the yield on Greek securities due in 2017 is still higher than that on both the longer-dated bonds.
An inverted yield curve — where yields on shorter-dated bonds are higher than their longer-maturity peers — may indicate investors are more concerned about a short-term default than the longer-term financial outlook.

The Howgill Fells, that huddle of smooth sided hills that nestle between the grandeur of the Lake District and the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, is one of the north’s best kept secrets.
They are often overlooked as a walking destination in favour of their better known neighbours, but on a clear, dry day there is nowhere that I’d rather be, away from the crowds and alone with the curlews and Fell ponies.
|Fell ponies on the Howgills|
To the east of the river lay the Howgill Fells and the Forest of Bowland and it is in these areas that there are some of the finest walks in the book. Base yourself in the lovely market town of Sedbergh and you can tackle anything from a strenuous circular climb over Winder, Calders and the Calf to a gentle stroll around Dent.
|The limestone pavements of Great Asby Scar|
The final section of the book takes you along the Lancaster canal and out to the Lune estuary were you can see the remains of Cockersand Abbey and explore Glasson Dock, still active after over 200 years, although mainly with pleasure craft these days.
The book is published by Cicerone and is in their distinctive style; pocket sized with 1:50,000 extracts of OS maps to accompany each route description. Directions in the text are enlivened by the historical and geographical snippets that add interest to any walk.
If your walking in the northwest has been concentrated on the Lakes and Dales then this is the book for you. But sssssh! Don't tell everyone or they'll all want to go there.
Walking in the Lune Valley and Howgills by Dennis and Jan Kelsall is published by Cicerone, ISBN:978 1 85284 916 0 price £12.95

As I mentioned previously, I have a small fracture in a bone in my right foot due to an unfortunate rolling pin incident. It didn't stop me from gardening today, I leaned on the shovel to dig instead of using my sore foot to press on it. I also pulled out loads of weeds and was able to rake up debris. Carrying 70 litre bags of compost did prove challenging though and after the first few I resorted to using a wheel barrow instead of the firemans lift technique.
There were 3 of us Mums at the gardening session today, our friend popped in to offer encouragement and have a cuppa but weekends are better for her so she'll come and do some gardening then.
We achieved a great deal this afternoon. The bed that was planted out last week was covered with fleece to stop pesky pigeons nibbling our seedlings. The remaining 3 vegetable beds were weeded, one of the beds still has work to be done as we were running out of time and energy by that point.
The weeded beds were covered with rotting leaves and compost which was then dug through. We covered the beds with fleece weighed down with sticks so they can be dormant over winter ready for us to plant vegetables and in the Spring. The bed we didn't have cover for was covered in cardboard which was then coated with rotting leaves and compost. The leaves were from the local supermarket carpark as my friend asked the contractors cleaning up the leaves if she could have bags of them this time last year. She is most resourceful and fantastic at scoring useful freebies for the garden such as leaves, cardboard and cuttings. We purchased the compost and it was delivered on Monday afternoon in 10 large bags which are rather heavy to haul about.
|From this . . . . . .|
We had a very valuable helper too in the form of an enthusiastic 2yo boy who normally sleeps through our gardening session but was awake and enjoying digging today. There were loads of nettles which needed to be cleared before he was let onto the garden beds, we all have loads of stings on our arms and legs.
|Two beds planted out and covered, two beds dug over and covered, one bed to go.|
Next week we will finish weeding the last raised bed, cover it with leaves and compost then dig them through. After that we'll probably just keep an eye on the beds over Winter, weeding as necessary. It's a good excuse for a buttie and cuppa too! ;o)

Then pulled her aside and said, 'Look, you go into the Oval Office four or five times a day, and speak directly to the President of the United States. There are some things I am very troubled about and I would deeply appreciate it if you would say to him some things that bother me.' She would have had an opportunity so say something to the person who has greater access to the President than anyone other than his wife and the Chief of Staff. Instead she decided not to have a moment where she could have maybe made a point. She just did something that makes her look like an absolute hateful bigoted bully," Gov. Huckabee said.

A Film Unfinished
Yael Hersonski’s powerful documentary achieves a remarkable feat through its penetrating look at another film-the now-infamous Nazi-produced film about the Warsaw Ghetto. Discovered after the war, the unfinished work, with no soundtrack, quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record, despite its elaborate propagandistic construction. The later discovery of a long-missing reel complicated earlier readings, showing the manipulations of camera crews in these “everyday” scenes. Well-heeled Jews attending elegant dinners and theatricals (while callously stepping over the dead bodies of compatriots) now appeared as unwilling, but complicit, actors, alternately fearful and in denial of their looming fate.

He hears advice on preserving one’s dignity and self-esteem. He discovers hatred. If he does survive and returns to Budapest, what will he find? What is natural; what is it to be a Jew? Sepia, black and white, and color alternate to shade the mood.
BEAUFORT tells the story of LIRAZ LIBERTI, the 22 year-old outpost commander, and his troops in the months before Israel pulled out of Lebanon. This is not a story of war, but of retreat. This is a story with no enemy, only an amorphous entity that drops bombs from the skies while terrified young soldiers must find a way to carry out their mission until their very last minutes on that mountaintop.
Waltz with Bashir
Much awarded animated documentary, in which director and Israeli army veteran Ari Folman interviews friends and former soldiers about their memories of the 1982 Lebanon war and especially the Sabra and Shatila massacre in Beirut. The usage on animation enabled Folman to illustrate their personal memories and dreams.
June, 1982 – The First Lebanon War. A lone tank and a paratroopers platoon are dispatched to search a hostile town – a simple mission that turns into a nightmare.

Overwhelmed by haunting memories of her younger self and her two fellow agents, the still-celebrated heroine must relive the trauma of those events and confront the debt she has incurred.
In an unprecedented and candid series of interviews, six former heads of the Shin Bet — Israel’s intelligence and security agency — speak about their role in Israel’s decades-long counterterrorism campaign, discussing their controversial methods and whether the ends ultimately justify the means.

Hannah Arendt is a portrait of the genius that shook the world with her discovery of “the banality of evil.” After she attends the Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem, Arendt dares to write about the Holocaust in terms no one has ever heard before. Her work instantly provokes a furious scandal, and Arendt stands strong as she is attacked by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish émigré also struggles to suppress her own painful associations with the past, the film exposes her beguiling blend of arrogance and vulnerability — revealing a soul defined and derailed by exile.
A group of intrepid explorers go on a journey of discovery and excitement as they climb and live atop a 17,000ft mountain in Eastern Turkey to conduct a scientific expedition to determine the final resting place of Noah’s Ark.

"Boundaries.Battlegrounds.Blessings: A Neighborhood Photo Album (2017)"
Displacement and gentrification are not fixed, one-time events in a community’s evolution. Instead, they represent a series of visible “flash points” – think, new residential and commercial development projects, infrastructure repairs, cafés, doggie parks – resulting from years of hidden planning and decision making by a handful of actors behind the scenes. Depending on who’s looking, these “flash points” can either challenge a neighborhood’s existing identity or offer a reason for celebration.
Boundaries, Battlegrounds, Blessings: A Neighborhood Photo Album is a participatory project by photographer and community activist Tieshka K. Smith that seeks to examine these tensions between old and new, while unearthing the ways in which stakeholders cope with these changes. This project is part of the larger citywide art and civic engagement project entitled Philadelphia Assembled. Learn more about it at http://phlassembled.net
To enhance this Neighborhood Photo Album, we invite members of the community to submit photographs that represent the “Boundaries”, “Battlegrounds”, and “Blessings” in their neighborhood. Priority consideration will be given to South/Olde Kensington photos.

The crown jewel
HAM: THE STAR OF SPANISH GASTRONOMY
What is Iberico ham?
Ham is, literally, the back leg of the pig. The pig’s “thigh” would be the fleshy part. Before enjoying Iberico ham meat, it requires a preparation and curing process. The first stage is salting, where the Iberico ham is covered with salt to facilitate its dehydration and preservation. It is subsequently washed and left to dry, which is where the natural ham curing process begins, followed by the maturation phase, during which it stands for months in our cellars.
The edible parts of Iberico ham are the maza, contramaza, babilla, punta and jarrete.
Composition and nutritional properties of Iberico ham
Both FISAN’s Iberico Bellota Ham and its Cebo de Campo Iberico Ham are rich in proteins and oleic acid, providing a significant amount of minerals and vitamins, which makes a leg of ham’s meat one of Spanish gastronomy’s healthiest foods.
The fat of the ham itself makes it a very healthy product and contributes to raising HDL levels (good cholesterol) and to reducing LDL levels (bad cholesterol), as shown by studies on bellota ham.
Likewise, Iberico ham is a significant source of nutrients, including assimilable iron, vitamins, and trace elements.
HAM’S UMAMI: THE TASTE OF A BELLOTA IBERICO HAM
The fifth taste, UMAMI, is also present in our Iberico Bellota Hams. A blend of sweet, salty, sour and bitter taste, traditionally explained as the elements that build the flavour of any food item.
This highly complex and difficult-to-explain fifth taste, which is only present in a few food products, is fully represented in bellota ham.
Why is it special?
FISAN ham is characterized by its intense colour, with red hues that range between purple and pink, always with a balanced fat marbling. On the palate, it stands out for its tender and juicy texture and an aftertaste that is full of intense notes.
The production of our Iberico hams begins in the dehesa, where our experts select the best Ibérico mothers and fathers to ensure a high-quality raw material, the Iberico pig, which is discernible in the final result: a true FISAN ham.
Last but not least, our dehesas in Córdoba, Sevilla, and the south of Extremadura ensure the provision of optimal amounts of high-quality fruit for our Iberico pigs’ diet to be fit for producing the best Iberico ham.
The control of the process, alongside the knowledge and proficiency of our ham experts, allows us to achieve excellence in the manufacturing of our Iberico products.
Our Iberico hams are stored in our facilities, located in Guijuelo, for the time required to reach the perfect curing degree and maturity in terms of flavour and tastiness.
FISAN ON THE TABLE
At FISAN we are sure that a dish with one of our products is a good starter for an extraordinary meal.
When preparing to serve at the table, FISAN follows a ritual. Ham and shoulder ham tasting require an exquisite presentation and must be well carved and served. You can start practicing by following our tutorial. Is this the only way? As you can see on another of our pages, our products are also available already sliced or hand carved. But be careful! They also require a part of the ritual to be followed.
In the case of ham and shoulder ham, you are about to consume a product that has involved 5 to 8 years of immense effort from the rearing of the pig until it reaches your palate, all for your full enjoyment and a delightful tasting experience. In the case of cured meats, between 3 and 4 years are required. Therefore, there are certain basic recommendations: wait until it reaches a temperature of 20-22 degrees, use a knife to carve it, and serve it arranged from the outside on a round plate, or, easier, in symmetrical and meticulously ordered rows. If you have acquired an already sliced product, wait until it has reached room temperature and, when its fat starts to melt, separate the slices and arrange them on a plate following the aforementioned ritual. It will delight the senses and the palate and will never fail you in important events or for unexpected last-minute occasions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HAM: FAQS
Its nutritional characteristics are helpful to control cholesterol, increasing HDL (good cholesterol), and reducing LDL (bad cholesterol). It is also rich in vitamins and minerals.
We recommend Iberico Bellota Ham, whether Iberico Bellota Ham 100%, 75%, or 50% Iberian Breed, since its aroma, flavor, and aftertaste afford a true gastronomic experience due to its amount of intramuscular fat marbling.
It is the pig’s hind leg, the thigh being the most highly valued meat and that which is specifically prepared for the most exquisite tastings.

The Accidental CISO
On 1st October, we had the honour of having Cheri McGuire, Group CISO of Standard Chartered, as an ICE71 guest speaker at Cloudflare’s shiny new Asia HQ. Cheri shared insights across topics like how she got into cybersecurity and what traits a CISO should have.
The Accidental CISO
“It’s a very long story, but you could call me an accidental CISO,” Cheri said. Coming from a political science background, she worked for the US Congress for over 6 years before she went back to school for an MBA, and then worked for a telecommunications infrastructure company. “I had to learn about that business in a short period of time,” she said.
Her mix of telco and government experience turned out to be a draw for Booz Allen, which got her into consulting. About a year after she started, 911 occured. She then got into US Homeland Security’s national cybersecurity division in its nascent days, where “You couldn’t even get a chair if you weren’t early,” she said. Stints at big names like Microsoft and Symantec followed later. Today, she is CISO of Standard Chartered.
3 most important traits of a CISO
“CISOs need to communicate and translate. They need to have courage. And they also need to have a good blend of technical and business skills.”– Cheri McGuire
Terms like ‘256-bit encryption’ and ‘TCP/IP protocols’ may seem basic for cybersecurity professionals, but not for finance professionals or non-tech people. Cheri said, “I had to put myself in the shoes of my audience and be able to speak their language, in real business terms, when it comes to describing the impact of security.”
CISOs need to have courage to call out on challenges and issues to an audience. For this reason, CISOs are often not the most popular—some people who are listening would rather not know about or have such challenges. When bringing up an issue, CISOs need to understand the motivations of the audience and speak to them in simpler terms, making it real and relatable. For example, a CISO can say, “Look, if we don’t patch that system, these are the things that could happen to the business.”
Cheri also believes CISOs should have a good blend of both technical and business skills. “You don’t have to be the smartest,” she said, but having a good understanding of business risks, coupled with a solid foundation of technical knowledge, will help CISOs get ahead of their game.
Commoditisation of the threat landscape
It has become cheap and easy for anyone to launch cybersecurity attacks. For the “bad guys”, they only need to “get it right” once, and yet the victim organisation has to protect against everything that follows. This is one of the biggest threats that banks and financial firms face today.
“A small breach can have a significant impact.”– Cheri Mcguire
Cheri cited an example of the Tesco Bank cyber attack in 2016, where in actuality the breach cost over $2 million, small by financial institution standards—but the reputational repercussion huge, and the regulatory fine was about 10 times the actual cost of the breach.
Managing risks in the cyber world
Cheri believes it takes a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity risk management—people, process and technology.
90% of attacks usually happen through phishing. “Employees are the first-line of defence,” Cheri said. This is why it is important that banks train their employees to be consistently cyber risk-aware.
Despite cyber awareness training for employees, there remains a possibility for human errors, and people might still click on a phishing link. So, processes and technical controls, like those put in place to prevent phishing attacks, are still necessary.
There’s room for startups, but it’s challenging
Regulatory requirements are preventing the quick adoption of technology from startups, as much as CISOs want to work with them.
The complexity and size of an organisation like Standard Chartered also pose a challenge to onboard new vendors. “With footprints in 60 countries, close to 100,000 employees and complex environments, it’s challenging for us to onboard new vendors,” Cheri said.
There are other considerations before onboarding can happen, too. Like whether a startup product is well-thought out, whether the startup has enough backing, what scale the startup is at, and whether it’s been around for awhile— factors linked to its longevity.
Early this year, SC Ventures, the innovation, ventures and fintech investments unit of Standard Chartered Bank, has created SC Ventures Fintech Bridge, a platform that connects and matches partners (startups, investors and accelerators) from the fintech ecosystem to the Bank. Through this platform, ecosystem partners can propose solutions to challenges posted by the Bank’s business units or request for investments.
Silent Eight is one of the startups in the SC Ventures Fintech Bridge. Its AI technology simplifies anti-money laundering checks and processes done in banks, such as name screening, payment screening and transaction monitoring.
Built-in security is a business proposition
As banks continue moving towards digitalisation of services, trust and security become important.
She urged companies to put security in mind when building their products. “Please build security into your products, so you’re ready when you come knocking at our door,” Cheri said, and adds, “if your products are not secure in the front end, it’s hard for us to adopt it.”

[ecis2016.org] The Bombay High Court has refused to put a permanent stop to the Metro III project, saying that it was essential for the decongestion of roads and hence, people should ‘compromise and sacrifice’ and put up with the problems created due to the construction work
A division bench of the Bombay High Court, comprising chief justice Manjula Chellur and justice NM Jamdar, while hearing a bunch of petitions claiming that the construction activity for the Mumbai Metro III was resulting in noise pollution in the areas concerned, has said that it cannot permanently stop the project. “There needs to be a balance. We cannot stop development. This project will decongest roads and will benefit everyone,” the bench said. Last month, the court had refused to allow the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) the use of heavy machinery or transportation vehicles at night, for the Metro III line work.

[ecis2016.org] HC refuses to allow Mumbai Metro to deploy heavy machinery at night
The MMRCL had sought the court’s permission, to bring heavy vehicles to construction sites in south Mumbai during the night hours, to transport construction material and debris. Advocate general Ashutosh Kumbakoni sought that the court reconsider the issue and said, “The nature of machinery, equipment and material that needs to be brought, in are heavy and large. Traffic needs to be stopped for these to be transported. It would not be proper if traffic is stopped during day time and hence, it needs to be done at night.”

The court then said it was aware of the authority’s anxiety and concern to complete the project and directed the MMRCL to file an affidavit, giving details of what work needs to be carried out during night time and the time schedule for the same. “We are aware of your concern and anxiety. However, we cannot overlook everything. You (MMRCL) cannot carry on work each night for a whole year. There are school and college children, who have to prepare for exams,” chief justice Chellur said. “We understand that there has to be compromise and sacrifice by people too. Extreme sensitivity and arbitrariness is also not correct,” she said.
The bench has now posted the petitions for hearing on October 13, 2017, by when the MMRCL will have to submit its affidavit. The 33-kilometre Colaba–Bandra-SEEPZ Metro line III project is part of the metro system that will connect the Cuffe Parade business district in south Mumbai to SEEPZ in the city’s north-central suburb. In August 2017, acting on the above petitions, the court had restrained the MMRCL from carrying out any construction or ancillary work on the Metro III line, between 10 pm and 6 am.

A native Kum and Go worker, who requested for anonymity for the sake of her job, stated Kum and Go will no longer carry non-menthol or tobacco-flavored Juul pods when the stock runs out. After the flavored pods run out, prospects should legally buy them via the Juul web site. But the nationwide deterrence of vaping has been in motion for a 12 months. According to Juul’s web site, final November it stopped the sale and distribution of its flavored pods to comfort stores throughout the country. This ban stopped the distribution of pods, but with so many shipped to retailers solely now are they starting to run out.
Rather, it says it has simply decided that now is the time to selectively enforce its energy in opposition to some flavored pods — flavored pods like mint, however not menthol. Juul mentioned Thursday it’ll cease accepting retail and on-line orders for mint pods within the U.S. after absorbing the latest outcomes of multiple research, including the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey. That research discovered “disturbing charges of e-cigarette use among each middle and high school college students in 2019” and found that a majority of such customers consumed Juul merchandise. There’s little concrete information on the safety of ingredients in e-cigarettes. In the US, to legally promote vapes and e-juice, companies have to offer an ingredient listing to the FDA—however they don’t should make those lists public. As long as the elements are usually regarded as protected by the FDA to be used in meals, drugs, and cosmetics, the group then authorizes these merchandise on the market.
About Juul Menthol Pods
In an announcement, the corporate mentioned it’s going to “continue to develop scientific proof to assist the use of these flavored merchandise,” which it says helps grownup smokers give up conventional cigarettes. The e-cigarette business comes beneath risk from a Trump administration proposal to ban most flavored e-cigarette cartridges amid growing health issues and a warning issued by the CDC against utilizing the merchandise. Each pack comes with 4 Eonsmoke prefilled tobacco taste nicotine salt pods. Each pod contains 60mg (6%) / 40mg (four%) nicotine per 1mL, and equivalent to 1 cigarette pack. Enjoy as much as 300 puffs per cartridge with your Eonsmoke or Juul pod vaporizer.
There are many adults who, like me, bummed lots of cigarettes once they were younger and careworn or drinking however, once they got older, both mostly or fully stopped. Adding to Juul’s woes, the e-cigarette industry has been underneath intense scrutiny since a mysterious vaping-related sickness, now often known as EVALI, spread throughout the US, sickening nearly 1,500 individuals and killing 33.
Virginia Tobacco Juul Pods (Four Pack) (Three 0%)
- JUUL is available in a wide range of flavors, corresponding to fruit medley, mango, cool cucumber and creme brulee.
- But the company is underneath intense strain to crack down on vapes.
- At the same time, it stays on the mercy of the Food and Drug Administration, which has regulated tobacco merchandise since 2009.
- The company’s valuation rose to sixteen billion dollars over the summer; it now controls nearly three-quarters of the e-cigarette market within the U.S.
You’ll get a pack’s worth of puffs from each pod, which is 2 hundred puffs. Customers may order as much as fifteen packs of pods every month. Only two different states — Massachusetts and New Jersey — have accredited comparable state laws on flavored tobacco or vaping merchandise.
The invoice has garnered support from teams including the NAACP and the state’s Legislative Black Caucus. At a news conference final week, advocates argued that flavored tobacco merchandise disproportionately have an effect on minority and lower-income youth. In distinction, the proposed Maryland bill would include all tobacco merchandise and ban any with flavoring, even menthol cigarettes. Under the law, distributors might obtain as much as a $1,000 nice and/or 30 days in jail. Notably, the FDA claims this ban just isn’t truly a new ban.
JUUL, for example, makes use of a nicotine salt formulation—that’s, nicotine extracted from natural tobacco leaves. It packs almost the identical punch of nicotine as smoking, however it goes down a lot smoother. That is, it doesn’t cause the identical throat or chest irritation that occurs with combustible cigarettes, allowing folks to inhale extra deeply or extra incessantly, doubtlessly exposing them to much more nicotine. Not all vaping producers report how a lot nicotine is of their merchandise, but even after they do, analyses present what’s inside the vape juice doesn’t always match what is alleged on the packaging. One research, for example, detected measurable quantities of nicotine in some vaping products regardless of labels claiming the product to be nicotine-free. The tasty flavors usually added to vaping products have been a giant a part of their appeal, particularly for younger people.
Kid-friendly flavors like cotton sweet or fruit punch have been notably in style among teens, who cited flavorings as the commonest ingredient within the vaping merchandise they use. Diacetyl is a chemical sometimes added to vaping products to create wealthy flavors like butterscotch or caramel. Food producers use this flavoring chemical in a wide range of capacities—perhaps most famously in microwave popcorn; diacetyl smells and tastes like butter. While vaping has been touted by some to be a less dangerous different to smoking, the vapor created by digital cigarette devices is way from harmless. JUULpods and other e-cigarette merchandise contain elements that result in an aerosol that can comprise probably dangerous substances like nicotine, metals, and toxins. Many youth e-cigarette customers incorrectly consider they aren’t consuming nicotine once they vape.

Summary: Appreciating the beauty in the smaller things in everyday life can contribute to a more meaningful existence, a new study reports.
Source: Texas A&M
Appreciating the intrinsic beauty in life’s everyday moments can contribute to a more meaningful existence, according to new research.
In a paper recently published in Nature Human Behavior, Joshua Hicks, a professor in the Texas A&M University Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, says this may be a previously unaccounted for factor tied to perceptions of meaning.
“It might not relate to whether you matter in the grand scheme of things, but we’ve shown people who value the little things, like your cup of coffee in the morning or being mindful in conversations with others, tend to have a high sense of meaning in life,” he said.
Hicks studies existential psychology. Put simply, he aims to understand the “big questions” in life. He describes his main focus as the experience of life—studying people’s subjective feeling that their life has meaning.
Scholars like Hicks generally agree there are three main sources of a subjectively meaningful existence: coherence, or the feeling that one’s life “makes sense”; the possession of clear, long-term goals and sense of purpose; and existential mattering. This last factor, he says, is the belief that one’s actions matter to others.
What Hicks and his co-authors argue in their latest research is that appreciating and finding value in experiences, referred to as experiential appreciation, is a fourth fundamental pathway toward finding meaning in life.
Researchers measured this factor by asking study participants how strongly they identified with statements linked to finding beauty in life and appreciating a wide variety of experiences.
They were also asked to recall the most meaningful event of the past month, among other questions, with the goal of measuring experiential appreciation. Hicks described this series of experiments in a recent article he co-authored for Scientific American.
In each case, the results confirmed the original theory that appreciating small moments can make for a more meaningful life.
For example, participants who were assigned to watch a sequence of picturesque nature montages scored by slowly building instrumental music from the BBC documentary “Planet Earth” reported greater feelings of experiential appreciation than those who watched a two-minute instructional woodworking video.
Hicks said the research began early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, when people were isolated at home and in some cases unable to pursue their goals. The question of whether people could still experience a high sense of meaning during those conditions was of great importance, he said, and remains important in the post-quarantine era.
Understanding the main components contributing to meaning in life can help researchers look for interventions for those who feel their lives lack meaning, he said.
People with certain personality types may be better at practicing mindfulness and recognizing intrinsic beauty, Hicks said, but that doesn’t mean everyone can’t cultivate this skill. To appreciate the small things in a fast-paced world, he said, people just need to slow down.
“Meaning is all around us when we can experience the natural beauty in the world. It can be the beauty in another person’s face, the food we eat or the songs we listen to,” he said.
“Right now, since cell phones and social media are so prevalent, I think that stuff detracts from our sense of meaning. Those things can be entertaining, but too much of it can really distract from what’s real, like natural beauty.”

Experiential appreciation as a pathway to meaning in life
A key research program within the meaning in life (MIL) literature aims to identify the key contributors to MIL. The experience of existential mattering, purpose in life and a sense of coherence are currently posited as three primary contributors to MIL. However, it is unclear whether they encompass all information people consider when judging MIL.
Based on the ideas of classic and contemporary MIL scholars, the current research examines whether valuing one’s life experiences, or experiential appreciation, constitutes another unique contributor to MIL. Across seven studies, we find support for the idea that experiential appreciation uniquely predicts subjective judgements of MIL, even after accounting for the contribution of mattering, purpose and coherence to these types of evaluations.
Overall, these findings support the hypothesis that valuing one’s experiences is uniquely tied to perceptions of meaning. Implications for the incorporation of experiential appreciation as a fundamental antecedent of MIL are discussed.

Anyone who listens to Bret Easton Ellis’bi-weekly podcast, follows him on Twitter, or has read any of his novels, knows that the professional provocateur has never shied away from, well, provoking. On Friday however, Ellis did something he almost never does—he backpedalled.
Ellis was interviewed recently by The Ringer’s Sean Fennessy, for an insightful piece on the future of movies. In it, Ellis is quoted as saying that unnamed Hollywood executives told him that the new Batman script blows, and that Warner Bros. doesn’t care because the movie will make a boatload of money overseas no matter what the final product looks like.
Well, that didn’t sit well with the Batman stans, who are hoping that Ben Affleck—who is writing, directing, and starring in the tentatively titled The Batman—will right DC’s ship after the debacle that was Batman v Superman. Ellis’ anecdote went viral, but there was nothing in the interview that painted the author in a negative light, other than making him look like someone with a big mouth who can’t be trusted when dining with Hollywood suits. Perhaps that alone was enough to convince Ellis to apologize, which he kind of, sort of did on Twitter:
“During a long interview with The Ringer’s Sean Fennessey, we talked about reasons why studio movies are so bad now and touched on the global needs of the marketplace. I told him something I had heard about the new Batman movie as an example of what might be the problem: I was talking with two executives who have NOTHING to do with the Batman movie and who KNEW people who were involved with the production. The two executives I was having dinner with were relating the problems they had heard about the script from people working on the Batman project–that’s all. I know no one involved with the Batman movie and I didn’t realize that my comments would make it into The Ringer piece or else I wouldn’t have cited that particular movie–I have no idea what the Batman script is like and I regret that it came off as if I was disparaging the project. Another reason to be careful giving interviews.”
So the two main takeaways here are: Don't tell Bret Easton Ellis a secret, and maybe, just maybe the new Batman movie won’t suck.

University of Dar es Salaam
Water damage is one of the major factors causing premature failure of asphalt concrete pavements. This study addresses the extent of the problem in Tanzania. it investigates the effect of water entering asphalt concrete pavement during and after construction. It also examines the effects of using aggregates with initial absorbed water (moisture] during asphalt concrete production. It father identifies ways of minimising moisture damage, and a so checks the effectiveness of lime in reducing water susceptibility to bituminous mixes. A variety of methods used to assess the potential for moisture damage are reviewed. Advantages and disadvantages of the methods are discussed. ASTM D4123 test is used in this research as described in the repeated load indirect tensile test of the ELEUMMATTA equipment. Materials used for mix preparation were granite and limestone aggregates with bitumen pen 80100 as a mineral binder. These materials are commonly used for construction of paved roads in Tanzania. Conditioning was done by saturating the mix specimens at a range of 55 to 80% followed by heating and cooling cycles reelecting the Tanzanian environment.

As primitive as it might look today, Batman’s 1939 newsstand debut was an auspicious one. It laid the groundwork for a bond between readers and a sullen crime-fighter that would weather more than seven decades of gothic peaks and mortifying, cash-grabbing lows. “The Bat-Man,” donning a hyphen along with ashy grey tights and long, lean ears back in Detective Comics #27, was caped and mysterious, a little more than a knockoff of pulp hero “The Shadow.” In the years that followed, comic story arcs like Knightfall and Batman: Year One starred a moody Dark Knight who steered clear of the sunbaked moral high ground patrolled by Superman, instead prowling a city governed by crooks and obsessing over avenging his parents’ alleyway murder.
He’s hurting, claims no superpowers, and in spite of his inordinate wealth, he’s somehow a relatable superhero.
“The Batman school preferred a vulnerable hero to an invulnerable one, preferred a hero who was able to take punishment and triumph in the end to a hero who took comparatively little punishment, just dished it out,” wrote Jules Feiffer in 1965’s The Great Comic Book Heroes.
In The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture, NPR critic Glen Weldon examines DC Comics’ most relatable property as well as the mainstream’s wresting of him from the death grip of “nerds.” Weldon—a self-proclaimed nerd of the highest order, whose Superman: The Unauthorized Biography also found him mulling the prized comics of yesteryear—argues that there is no one Batman but an “elastic concept” that has enjoyed commercial success across a variety of mediums.
“No single image defines Batman, because any single image is too small to contain the various layered and at times contradictory meanings we’ve installed in him,” Weldon writes. “Since his first appearance, we have projected onto the character our own fears, our preoccupations, our moral imperatives, and have seen in him what we wish to.”
Batman forced superheroes out of “a perpetual age of adolescence,” offers Weldon, and after eons of fraternizing via fanzines, comic letter columns, in comics shops, and later online, nerds’ niche interests are now mainstream. The Caped Crusade’s subject no longer belongs solely to an outsiders’ club—he “acted as the catalyst for billions of ‘normals’ to embrace the culture they had once dismissed or rejected.”
Incisive criticism of specific comic runs and graphic novels in Weldon’s smart, pugnacious book offers an inside-baseball chronology of Batman, but will surely bore the normals. Analysis of adjacent components fares much better: There were jingoistic, “deeply weird” 1940s movie serials; a silly Adam West–led TV show; and of course, astronomically high-grossing films.
Behold the assessment of what a behemoth “$10 million marketing budget” yielded for Tim Burton’s Batman (partners included Taco Bell and JC Penney). Or that Warner Bros. received “over fifty thousand petitions and letters of complaint” from Bat-fans who’d heard rumors that Burton would take cues from the 1960s show. Such nuggets have gossipy appeal, but non-nerds should take heed that there’d be no Burton, Schumacher, or mumbling Bane were it not for Bob Kane and Bill Finger.
Before teenaged New Jersey artist Jerry Robinson introduced a character he called “The Joker,” or psychiatrist Frederic Wertham led a fraudulent, comics industry-crippling witch hunt and suggested Batman and Robin “might make a kid worry that he was (gay),” writer Finger overhauled the crude sketch that scored Kane a work-for-hire contract with (a pre-DC) National Comics.
Finger “introduced the iconographic elements now universally associated with the concept ‘Batman’ […], effectively transformed Kane’s Winged Underwear-Man into a Dark Knight,” writes Weldon. Finger scripted Batman’s origin and more, but in lockstep with comics’ tradition of immoral business practices, Kane snagged sole authorship credit for decades. Recognition for co-creator Finger came only after his death. This is ancient history in the towering shadow of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy and Lego Batman: The Videogame, but in The Caped Crusade, it’s a singular swerving and knotty ride that’s probably not unlike The Dark Knight Coaster at Six Flags.
“It’s no longer just nerds like me who love Batman and things like him,” writes Weldon. “Over the past few decades, ‘geeking out’ has become the new normal, the default mode in which many millions of us engage the world around us. When we love a thing, we love it deeply.”
