1811 Arthur Albright was born in Oxfordshire
1827 Albright moved to Bristol, where he was apprenticed to his uncle as a chemist.
1840 Arthur Albright, a trained chemist, joined the Birmingham chemical firm of John and E. Sturge; his sister had married Edmund Sturge who was a Quaker. The Sturges were already manufacturing potassium chlorate for the match industry, at their chemical works at Selly Oak, adjacent to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
1842 Albright became a Partner in the business.
1844 Albright persuaded the firm to introduce production of white phosphorus at Selly Oak.
1850 The production of potassium chlorate and white phosphorus was moved to Langley Green, Oldbury, West Midlands.
1851 Production of white phosphorus restarted. Albright was granted a patent in relation to his improved method of phosphorous production.
The new site was located next door to the firm of Chance Brothers and Co (later Chance and Hunt) in order to obtain access to a supply of sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid, and of coal from the Black Country coal fields. It was also adjacent to two different arms of the Birmingham Canal Navigations, (the BCN), one leading off the Titford Canal, so it had good transport links.
1851 Production of the red form of phosphorus, "amorphous phosphorus" was commenced by Arthur Albright, by heating white phosphorus in a sealed crucible under a vacuum. This process had been discovered by Professor Schrötter, in Vienna and patented by him. However, it was explosive to make and Albright discovered a safe means of production.
1854 On 31 December Albright terminated his partnership with the Sturges but retained the Oldbury works.
1854 John Edward Wilson, a merchant, joined Albright
1856 Wilson became a partner in the new partnership Albright and Wilson. The company was founded as a manufacturer of potassium chlorate and white phosphorus for the match industry. For much of its first 100 years of existence, phosphorus-derived chemicals formed the majority of its products. Albright and Wilson quietly prospered, with a virtual monopoly of phosphorus manufacture in Britain up to WWI.
1857 John Wilson married the sister of Rachel Albright (Albright's wife).
c.1880 The development of the MacArthur-Forrest process for extracting gold from low-grade ore and mine tailings using cyanide excited the interest of a number of companies including Albright and Wilson.
1892 Albright and Wilson became a private limited company, Albright and Wilson Ltd; it remained a double family-owned firm for nearly 100 years, until 5 March 1948 when it became a public company.
1894 Albright and Wilson and Oldbury Alkali Co, neighbours in Oldbury and both engaged in the production of cyanide, decided to join forces in that business. A small subsidiary, British Cyanides Co Ltd, was formed under the chairmanship of Alexander Chance, and a plant was constructed on a piece of land adjacent to both companies. They experienced difficulties in converting sulpho-cyanide into cyanide.
1900 When the South African War broke out in 1900, the largest market for cyanide disappeared and all but 2 of the British suppliers left the business, one of the surviviors being British Cyanides Co.
Albright and Wilson expanded considerably into silicones, detergents, food additives, metal finishing chemicals, strontium based chemicals and Chromium based chemicals. It was the second largest chemical manufacturer in the United Kingdom; although it was always very much smaller than ICI.
Oldbury remained the Headquarters of Albright and Wilson for most of the company's existence, eventually becoming known as the Oldbury Division. The Oldbury site was also the location of its central Research Laboratories.

1948 The company became a public company.
By 1951 the company employed 4,000 people in the UK, Ireland, North America and Australia.
1955 Acquired Marchon Products.
1960s The company built plants at Belledune and Long Harbour in Canada, though this did not turn out as expected. The company being rescued by its partial acquistion by Tenneco.
1971 Tenneco bought a part of Albright and Wilson's share holdings
1974 Developed a method for purifying phosphoric acid from impure phosphate rock.
1974 Developed a pre-treatment process for zinc diescastings which protects the finished components from blemishes has been developed by the industrial chemicals division.
1978 Tenneco obtained full ownership. In the short term, the company retained its own identity; however many of its subsidiaries were sold off.
1995 Tenneco divested many of its assets; and parts of the original core of Albright and Wilson were transferred into a new public company, Albright and Wilson Plc which was floated on the stock market, in February of that year.
1999 However, just four years later, following disappointing results, the French chemical company Rhodia acquired Albright and Wilson and the century-and-a-half old name finally disappeared.
Parts of the original Albright and Wilson company are now owned by the Huntsman Corporation.

Clay Andrews answers the question, do rebound relationships last? And if so, how exactly does it happen? If you want to learn more about upgrading your “love operating system” check out our free class over at:
Do rebound relationships ever last or are they doomed to failure?
As with most things in life, it is rarely a black and white kind of thing. There are actually many, many shades of grey in between.
However, if a rebound relationship is going to last, and become a strong and healthy relationship, then a few things need to happen.
First, the two people need to stop using one another for validation. It is no surprise that if you haven’t fully gotten over a breakup, you may be very likely to use a rebound relationship as a form of validation, either to prove your ex wrong, to prove to yourself that you are worthwhile, or to prove some other thing to someone else in some way or another. This is not healthy and not what a great relationship is based on.
They also need to stop hiding from the pain that the breakup caused them. I know that we like to live in a society that values us being unemotional. It must mean that you are so cool if you were not even affected by your breakup. But we all know that this is simply not true.
If you were involved in a relationship for any significant period of time, then a breakup is going to have some sort of emotional impact on you. There is no denying that.
And if repressing those emotions by “sweeping them under the rug” of a rebound relationship is your initial instinct in handling these emotions, then you are doing yourself a disservice.
You will have to address those issues sooner or later. And frankly, your rebound probably does not want to hear you groan about your ex all the time, which is why many rebound relationships do not last.
And finally, both people in the rebound relationship will have to learn how to actually turn toward each other and learn how to have a successful and meaningful connection with one another that is NOT related to the past, and not about simply NOT being your ex. It has to be about who you actually are.
So, do rebound relationships work? They can, but they must go through the shift of going from a rebound relationship to a normal relationship.

Vision Airlines, a company that started by giving tours of the Grand Canyon, will begin offering commercial flights to 20 U.S. cities on Tuesday, promising to save vacationers time and money on getaways to Florida.
Vision says fares, some initially as low as $49 one way, will go on sale Tuesday for trips between the beach communities of northwest Florida and such cities as Baton Rouge, Knoxville, Tenn., and Little Rock starting March 25.
Flights aimed at business travelers shuttling between Louisville and Atlanta began Dec. 13, while service between northwest Florida and Miami and Niagara Falls, N.Y., launched Dec. 17.
The carrier, based in Suwanee, Ga., is taking a page from the playbook of Allegiant, one of the most profitable airlines in the country, by flying non-stop from smaller cities to tourist spots and offering vacationers one-stop shopping by selling packages that include everything from the hotel room to the rental car.
“If Allegiant Airlines is Coke, then there’s always got to be a Pepsi,” says David Meers, Vision’s COO. “Our goal is not to take over the aviation industry. It’s not to go out and try to poke the large carriers in the eye. We believe there’s a niche available in the marketplace to provide … packages to consumers at discounted prices.”
Low fares, non-stop service and large jets — perks more often enjoyed by fliers through major hubs — will be key, Meers says.
“We’ll be flying from cities that have been neglected by large carriers with large aircraft for a number of years,” Meers says, adding that many visitors to the tourist hubs of Destin and Fort Walton Beach in northwest Florida often drive to avoid connecting flights and high fares.
“It opens up the ability for people from all these communities to not only go as they normally would (but) to go more frequently,” he says.
Vision’s entry into commercial passenger service comes as the airline industry is starting to climb back to profitability after skyrocketing fuel prices and the economic downturn that caused leisure and business travelers to cut back on flying.
Still, airline analyst Mike Boyd says that Vision is carving out good turf. “They’re not going into business to meet pent-up demand, they’re going into places to provide a product that wasn’t there before,” Boyd says. “It’s an entirely different business than an airline, but I think it’s going to be a very successful one, as Allegiant has been. They’re creating their own business, a low-cost, high-value vacation to the Florida Gulf Coast.”
Vision started in 1994, operating tours of the Grand Canyon with small planes, and grew into a charter service for celebrities and others.
But it’s long been a goal to become a full-service travel company that offers commercial flights and other packaged travel services, Meers says.
Vacation packages should be available on Vision’s website in the next 60 days, he says. And in the next three years, “It’s realistic to expect we’d add cities out West … and we’ll look at the Caribbean and Mexico.”
Some smaller airports are welcoming the new service, seeing it as a way to boost Gulf Coast tourism, which dipped after the BP oil spill last year, and to get travelers who would usually drive to take to the air instead.
Vision’s non-stop service could even help Florida residents traveling within the state, such as those who now take a connecting flight or drive seven hours from the Destin area to get to Tampa, says Greg Donovan, director for the Northwest Florida Regional Airport in Fort Walton Beach.
“The communities that they’re going to be flying to are difficult to get to via hub connections,” says Donovan, who adds that fares on larger carriers such as Delta and US Airways are often more than vacationers want to pay. “I think it’s going to bring back many people we’ve lost to driving,” Donovan says.
Some airports are waiving fees for Vision and helping to promote its new service.
Northwest Florida Regional will waive Vision’s landing fees and terminal rent for two years, as well as spend tens of thousands of dollars on marketing efforts in targeted communities.
Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, which will see non-stop service to and from Orlando Sanford International, as well as Northwest Florida Regional, which serves the Fort Walton Beach-Destin area, is also waiving some fees and tapping funds for new air service.
“We all try to secure low-cost carriers for our community,” Anthony Marino, Baton Rouge’s airport director, says of small and midsize airports. “The competition it creates in the market helps us when we’re dealing with (legacy) carriers like American and Continental and US Airways.”
Vision will continue to separately offer tours and chartered flights. That diversification, along with the vacation packages it sells, should create a healthy revenue stream, Meers says.

As much as I would love to drop my kids off at your house and keep going... I can't. Much of my fear is deeply rooted in the idea that child molestation is real. I can't in good faith leave my child in your care no matter how much you reassure me that my child is safe and will be under the best care imaginable.
It's not that I don't trust you... I don't trust new environments that I have no control over. And yes, no one in your home may be a registered sex offender but your son's friends, your neighbors or other family members and even the guy dropping off packages are all people I do not know and have never seen, met, scrutinized or spoken with. My child being open, honest, loving and innocent as most children are should not be faced with the potential situation that may ruin her little being forever.
So I say this, if you want to have a play date lets play at the park. Let's meet up for coffee. Let's go to the zoo.
I must invest in the family that wants their child to be friends with my child. I must get to know you. I must hang out and build trust. I must be comfortable with you. I need to know you.
I'm a former teacher and former college athlete, currently working to make life more equitable for all people. My mission is to get parents to partner with their child's teacher.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has put an end to the speculation linking Bruno Fernandes with a move to the club.
The Portuguese discussed the player during his Tuesday press conference before Wednesday’s trip to Old Trafford to face old club Manchester United.
Fernandes has long been linked with a move to north London following a brilliant few years with Sporting CP.
Speculation picked up over the attacking midfielder when fellow countryman Mourinho was named Mauricio Pochettino’s successor two weeks ago, but it would now appear all the noise will amount to nothing.
He told Sport TV (quoted by Daily Mail): “We are not a club that is going to make big transfers in the market, nor is it going towards players who are already developed or at a certain level of expectation, also economically.
“I would definitely say no because Bruno [Fernandes] is a player of a level and value that is not for us.”
Fernandes recently penned a new deal at Sporting that reportedly now means he as a release clause of £85 million.
Spurs fans react
For many Spurs fans, the constant reports about Fernandes have served as a frustration.
While some online were disappointed by Mourinho’s comments, others weren’t all that bothered:
Which means he’ll be putting his trust in GLC I hope

The journey of an aspiring fighter #42
Only three more weeks on this island, time seems to be running away with me! I think I must be getting scared of leaving because I suddenly have the urge to do EVERYTHING I can possibly afford to do. Unfortunately that’s not actually very much because tourist prices are ridiculous, but I did go go-karting today which was amazing fun! I was under the impression that I would be quite good at it, but unfortunately I was distinctly wrong about this and I was not. I think Boyd lapped me 6 times and Ian about 3 (but only because he crashed into the barrier which held him up!) I maintain what I said at the time though, I don’t actually care if I was rubbish because I had a great time doing it!
Monday 25th November 2013
I went for my usual run at 5.30am, and I’ve just been doing a steady state run recently (since the concussion) but something on Monday made me want to do sprints. I’m not exactly sure how that came about or what exactly my brain was going through at that moment, but a few minutes in to the run I had a massive urge to sprint. So I did. Ultimately realized quite how unfit I am but still, one must start somewhere. I had much longer breaks than usual between sprints but the length of sprint was about the same as I used to do. This can only get better!
School was actually pretty good, we learned all about the letter ‘G’ and made big ‘G’s covered in gorillas, goats and giraffes.
After school I was back to running, this time a steady state, the 5km block. I actually really love this run because everyone on the way round is super friendly and always make the effort to smile at me. I’ve even got a few hecklers now who shout encouragement (in Tinglish) whilst I’m running. Post run, I jumped straight into Muay Thai and Bung seemed to me on a mission with me (as usual). I did 3 rounds of pads straight after my run, then 3 rounds of sparring and last but not least three rounds on the bag. The sparring was awesome, I was paired with a little Russian kid (which admittedly would usually scare me) but he was actually really sweet although speaks next to no English (still better than my Russian though) we actually had a good fun spar, and I hope he sticks around so I can spar with him a little more.
After training (and a shower) we all went down to Calorie for dinner. I am completely addicted to the black rice and chicken there, it’s literally the best thing I’ve eaten since I’ve been in Thailand…. Well those are pretty strong words, but it’s at least the top three. I have eaten some amazing food here! Anyway, trust me, if you come to Phuket to train, go to Calorie and get the black rice and chicken!!
Tuesday 26th November 2013
Today at school we were learning how to add. My students are very varying in ability, some able to add two digit numbers together, and some not able to recognize the number 3. This makes my job especially hard when I have to plan a lesson for all these students, but it’s all good. That’s my job. It’s frustrating when the kids don’t want to learn, and although 90% of them are amazing and love school, there are always the odd few that don’t want to learn anything and especially don’t care what the number 8 looks like. This kind of makes me feel like I’m failing as a teacher, and it’s extremely frustrating, but I think that’s just how it is with kids. Especially the younger ones. It’s frustrating but it’s just one of those things. It does really wear me out though, stressing about such things, and makes me feel inadequate as a teacher.
Once I’m finished teaching, if I’ve had a day like that, it’s really hard to keep the focus and drive to be able to get to training, even though once I’m there it’s absolutely fine. I am generally OK if I just power on through, if I stop and sit down however, it is extremely hard to keep going!
Straight after school I ran only the short run but the heat was exhausting! It’s so nice that it’s sunny again that I don’t really care. Post run I jumped straight into Muay Thai again, and first up was sparring. I sparred for two rounds with Bung, in which he pretty much laughed at me for the entire round, however I actually kicked today so at least he wasn’t angry with me. I then did two rounds with another (slightly bigger) Russian, who speaks even less English. He looked quite offended when he was asked to spar with a GIRL but then when he started sparring with me, I think he secretly enjoyed it. I gave as good as I got for two rounds and surprisingly didn’t die, and I think even Bung was happy with me, which must be a first!
After sparring I went straight into three rounds of pads. My fitness is slightly improving but it’s no where near as good as it was before my last Muay Thai fight so I have a lot to work on. The pad work was shattering but always good. Bung has started letting me just kick and punch him wherever I want and he just catches it, more like a fight, but it’s horrible when he’s coming at me and I’m shattered, I feel like my leg won’t lift to kick out again, but then at the last minute I get the power from somewhere and I manage to teep. I pretty much felt like I was going to die during the last round of pads, but I’m fairly glad I pulled myself through it. I was so happy to get onto the bag after pads, and had a bit more of a chilled round to start my bag work. Muay Thai, if you don’t kill me you will definitely make me stronger!!!!
Wednesday 27th November 2013
Call me what you like (a light weight in my opinion) but my legs were in pieces after last nights training so I only managed a steady state run, not sprints. I figured at least I did something though! On Wednesdays we take the kids swimming, and I actually used that time to “ice” my legs on the pool. It wasn’t quite cold enough, but it was certainly lower than body temperature so it was sufficient for my legs and they felt a lot better afterwards!
After school I had a small break of half an hour before training, so I sat down…. Biggest mistake ever! It’s so hard to get up again!! I went for my 5 1/2km run at 4.30pm though, and it was actually extremely pleasant. I have to say I’m starting to enjoy that little run that I do… After the run it was back to Muay Thai and Bung was again on a mission to destroy me. I started with three rounds of pads, whilst everyone else was warming up, and then we all went straight into sparring. I was paired with Shauna again, and I was very pleasantly surprised with how I didn’t get my ass absolutely kicked! Either she was taking it really super easy on me, or I’ve got better. I really hope for the latter! I then went on the bag for six rounds because there were so many people in the class it took three transitions instead of the normal two to get through bag and pad work with everyone. Last but not least, we did clinching. Now I was feeling pretty pleased with myself before we started clinching, I was thinking how fit I felt and how I didn’t even feel like I was going to die at the end of the pad work. However, then this thing called clinching came along and towards the end of the second round I really believed that I could die. I mean I know it’s a bit dramatic but seriously, I had absolutely no strength and I was clinching with Kru Neung by this point and he wasn’t letting up on me one bit. I felt if anything that he was going harder as the round went on. It was absolutely horrible. However. I GOT THROUGH IT!! I lived to fight another day! Which made me feel a lot better about being beaten up in the ring if this was to happen. I’m actually feeling a lot better about the next fight than I did about my last fight.
Thursday 28th November 2013
I’m so glad I didn’t have to run this morning. I had one of those nights where I woke up in the exact same position that I fell asleep in, so I am pretty sure I was absolutely shattered.
Work went super quickly again today, I can’t believe at all that it’s almost the end of another week – the speed time goes out here is insane!
Anyway, straight from work I was running, just the short one today, but then two of my amazing friends were filming my pad work and sparring so I was excited to get back to see them. Mark Spargo and Marley Swindells both filmed me, Mark on his own camera and Marley on my iPad. We started with 4 rounds of sparring, and I sparred with a Swedish girl by the name of Johanna. Let me say by the way, how awesome this girl is! She gave me 4 rounds of fantastic, exciting and fun sparring, and we caught the whole thing on film! I can’t wait to edit the videos together and get them onto YouTube (ASAP hopefully, I haven’t had a chance yet sorry!).
After the sparring, I was on the bag for three rounds and then back to pad work for three rounds after that. Pad work hurts my brain! Bung gets so annoyed with me if I even do one thing wrong, it’s kind of frustrating. I want to say to him “I’m only learning, that’s why I’m at t he class – to learn!!” But I don’t think he would get what I was on about…
After training, myself, Johanna and her friend Max went for dinner at Calorie. Yet more satisfied customers… I’m so glad that they are doing so well, I’m still very addicted to the chicken.
Friday 29th November 2013
This morning I managed twelve sprints, all around 100-150m long… I am using this as a base to improve on as I know I am pretty unfit right now. From now and until the Muay Thai fight, I will improve at least by two every week. I was trying not to get too serious about documenting it but it started to irritate me that I didn’t know how many sprints I was doing per session… So I counted.
Muay Thai starts at the later time of 5pm on a Friday so I got the chance to go for my 5 1/2km run before hand. Muay Thai tonight was tough… Bung is pushing me harder and harder each session, and I definitely feel like I’m improving but it’s bloody hard work. I got probably the biggest compliment I’ve ever had from a trainer tonight, F (the trainer who is ALWAYS dancing) told me I kick like someone who’s had 40 fights!! Wow. I couldn’t believe my ears. I even checked if he meant me or he was speaking about someone else, but he confirmed that he did mean me! Thank you F, you made my week!
Saturday 30th November 2013
This morning I woke up way before my alarm, about as wide awake as it was possible to be which is great for training, but then my muscles were in agony so I was dreading the pre-Muay Thai run. My solution to this was to pretty much smother Battle Balm over the entirety of my body in the hope that my muscles would relax enough for them to stop hurting. After my run (in which they definitely still hurt) they actually stopped hurting completely (so my plan actually worked!) and I actually had a really good time sparring with Johanna. We did 3 rounds of Muay Thai sparring, but just kept it light. I love sparring with this girl, she’s exactly like me! After the 3 rounds, Bung kept me in for one more round, where he put me with the smaller Russian guy (from Monday). This guy was being to be quite honest a complete idiot, and kicking me with ridiculous karate kicks that would never be seen in a Muay Thai ring, and just completely messing around. Don’t get me wrong, I’m up for a laugh 90% of the time, but sometimes I just want to concentrate on my technique and think a little more seriously about this whole fight thing. I mean, it’s my career, I’m not on holiday, despite what some people believe! I asked the Russian guy to stop messing around…. So he punched me really hard…. I much preferred that because at least I knew what I was working with then, and he seemed to adopt more of a Muay Thai style from then.
Hopefully this week I will get a date for my next fight, watch this space!!!!

If any good can come from the case against alleged rapist and Republican political fundraiser Gregory Peterson, it could be this: A golden opportunity for state and congressional leaders to commit themselves and serious money to advocacy and assistance programs for victims of sexual violence.
GOP leaders have moved quickly to distance themselves from Peterson. Still, at the very least the case should convince them that sexual predators exist in every walk of life. They are our neighbors, our community leaders, our work colleagues, our fellow church-goers. Their victims are our children, our siblings, our friends, our spouses.
This is a plea for Gov. Gary Herbert to include in his next budget fixed and dependable funding for services that help victims to heal, and for legislators to support him. This is a call out for Congress to end election-year posturing over reauthorizing the Violence against Women Act. Until congressional leaders reconcile two conflicting versions of the bill, millions of dollars for victim advocacy sit idle.
Our politicians can lament the Greg Petersons of the world, or they can help build a society that won't tolerate sexual violence. The choice seems obvious.

- Make sure someone steps in for your headteacher
- You might not have all the details of the absence
- Short-term absence: your board will have a limited role in arranging cover
- Long-term absence or vacancy: appoint an acting headteacher
- Inform parents and carers of the situation by downloading our template letter
Please note: this article applies mostly to maintained schools. If you're an academy, check your funding agreement to be clear about your responsibilities when your headteacher (or equivalent) is absent.
Make sure someone steps in for your headteacher
Your board is responsible for making sure a member of staff is appointed to carry out the functions of a headteacher if:
- Your headteacher is absent, or
- Your school is waiting to appoint a new headteacher
However, if your school is expected to be without its headteacher for a long time, your board should look to formalise arrangements as soon as possible.
This is explained in the DfE's staffing and employment advice for schools (paragraph 2.14 on page 9).
You might not have all the details of the absence

OKLAHOMA CITY — AAA Oklahoma says gasoline prices are plunging following the Labor Day holiday and the end of the busy summer driving season.
AAA spokesman Chuck Mai said Tuesday that the statewide average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline is down 7 cents since August 30. But Mai says the decline is even more dramatic in Tulsa, where the citywide average has plummeted 14 cents since August 31. Oklahoma City’s average has fallen 11 cents since August 30.
Pump prices are also declining nationally. South Carolina reports the lowest statewide average at $1.94, followed by Alabama at $1.97, Mississippi at $1.98 and New Jersey at $1.99. AAA says Oklahoma has the nation’s 11th-lowest state average price.
Tuesday’s national average gas price is 2 cents less than a week ago.

Your body is made up of about 80 percent water, and getting enough good, clean water may just be the most essential part of your overall health. Unfortunately, most of us don’t get enough H2O, though. Estimates say that 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and it’s taking a toll health-wise. For starters, your cellular regeneration and overall health depend on adequate water intake.
In fact, your body needs water to make new cells of all types, including blood cells, bone cells and skin cells. Additionally, every organ and bodily system requires water to function correctly and healthily. Likewise, drinking enough water keeps your lymphatic system in tip-top shape so that wastes and toxins are removed from your body.
That’s not all that staying adequately hydrated can do for you, though. Water also keeps your joints lubricated, delivers nutrients to your nervous system, helps the blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells, and even makes it so your heart doesn’t have to work as hard pumping blood through your body. Water regulates your metabolism, too, and aids in digestion and body temperature control. An added bonus is that adequate water intake hydrates your skin cells and plumps them up.
The late Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, the foremost authority on the relationship between water consumption and overall health, says that many common diseases and ailments are really just names given to patterns of symptoms created by the body’s drought management system. When your body gets dehydrated, it goes into conservation mode. For example, the brain, which is 85 percent water, must be kept hydrated. The body will keep it watered at all costs—even if that means redirecting water from other parts of the body.
Did you know that even breathing can sap your water supply, depending on the climate and your level of physical exercise? It’s true. If you’re not getting enough water, your body will fight against respiratory water loss by producing histamines to close off the capillaries in the lungs. When these capillaries constrict, water loss is minimized, but breathing can become more difficult. The body goes into water conservation and preservation modes—constricting your lung’s capillaries to make sure your brain doesn’t suffer.
While I’m at it, forget what you’ve ever heard about “water weight” from drinking water. Drinking water does not make you gain weight. In fact, the opposite is true. Water revs up your metabolism and helps you feel full.
The bottom line is that you probably need to drink more water—and much less of other beverages because soda, caffeinated beverages and other drinks don’t meet the body’s need for hydration. In fact, they can rob it of existing hydration.
So, drink up! Get at least eight or more large glasses of pure water daily, depending on your needs, climate and physical activity level. Your body will thank you.

How should we define, document, and prevent conflicts of interest in alcohol research?
Babor, T. (2016). How should we define, document, and prevent conflicts of interest in alcohol research?. The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 5(1), 5-7. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v5i1.232
Aims: Conflicts of interest (COIs) in science and medicine have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This article reviews definitions of COI, as well as measures used to document, prevent, and manage COIs.
Findings: The positive association between COIs and the outcomes of research has been documented in a substantial body of research covering a variety of fields, including addiction research. Attempts to address COIs include funding declarations, voluntary bans of receipt of industry funding, and ethical analyses.
Conclusions: To protect the scientific integrity of the alcohol field from further influence from commercial and other competing interests, reasonable and consistent reporting procedures are needed at a minimum. Direct funding from major transnational alcohol producers involves major reputational and ethical risks that may require more stringent measures by professional societies, university administrators, and journal editors.

Take a stroll along Tjuvholmen in the evening and you will come across a colourful electrical tree entitled the “Oslo Tree”. Made up of 150,000 LED light bulbs that changes color, this massive 14-meter-tall luminescent installation is made by American artist Alexander Green. The stunning artwork was commissioned by Symmetry Labs and cleverly designed to withstand the harsh Norwegian climate, including frost and snow. The lighting scheme within the tree is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the changing seasons.
It was the wealthy businessman Stein Erik Hagen who purchased the artwork at the Burning Man festival in Nevada in 2017 and generously gifted it to the people of Oslo. By illuminating the city’s streets, Hagen wanted the tree to symbolize Oslo’s core values: a deep appreciation for forests, nature, and the environment. Initially, his plan was to place the tree in Sofienbergparken in Grünerløkka, also in Oslo, but it ultimately found its home in Trettenparken in Filipstad, close to Skur 13.
“The Tree of Ténéré” is the original name of the art installation, and its name has its origins in a 300-year-old tree that once stood all alone in the middle of the African country of Niger, far out in the Saharan desert, in the Ténéré region. With no other trees within a 400-kilometre radius, The tree served as a focal point and resting place for travelers through the desert.

The book is divided into 3 parts: 1. Protein Complementarity, 2. Living with the Earth in Mind, 3. The Recipes.
The good parts about this book are that EBE really makes a point of emphasizing food combining. Being a vegetarian does NOT mean just leaving meat out of the diet-you have to compensate for the incomplete proteins found in vegetables by food combining. Being that this book is a spin-off of the revolutionary (when it came out) "Diet for a Small Planet", its recipes focus on wholefoods and nutritional value. After having made many, many of the recipes in this book, I can say that they're good "basic" recipes, but not very flavorful. What I have done is make the recipe exactly as specified in the book, and after tasting the food made my own adjustments. In summary, this is a good starting point for vegetarianism that covers a wide variety of recipes, that with personal tweaking, result in tasty, nutritious food.

The purpose of this communication from Brandon IP, in its capacity as an intellectual property consultant, together with Brandon Valorisation, valuation strategy consultants, is to draw your attention to the tax aspects to be observed in the event of a contribution in kind of an intangible intellectual property asset to your company.
Patents or software
Taxation on capital gains applies when a patent or software is transferred to a company. This type of contribution constitutes a transfer of assets.
Transfer of a patent or software by an individual to a company
The capital gain realized on this transaction may be taxable. In France, certain finance laws provide for a specific tax regime for the transfer of patents and software to a company, allowing the payment of the capital gain to be deferred for a period and under conditions set by the tax authorities.
The financial valuation of the intangible asset(s) to be transferred must be carried out by a duly registered expert. This expert will be the contact person for the contributions auditor, who will have to intervene.
The contribution of a patent or software by one company to another company
When a company transfers a patent or software to another company as part of an asset transfer transaction, any capital gains that may be assessed before the transfer are due. However, a company may be exempt from corporation tax under certain conditions, including the length of time the shares must be held, a minimum level of shareholding, etc.
Here again, the value of the patent or software must be determined by an expert firm, which will be liable for the content of its valuation report.
Important: If you have any questions about taxation, we recommend that you consult a tax expert, who will be able to help you with the process.
Trademark or design
Transfer from an individual to a company
When an individual contributes a trademark or design to a company in exchange for shares in the company, this can be considered to be a transfer of assets. The capital gain realised on this transfer is generally taxable. However, there may be exemptions or tax deferral schemes in certain situations.
It is advisable to have the brand valued by an asset valuer to determine its fair value.
Transfer of a trademark or design from one company to another
This type of transfer is generally subject to the tax rules applicable to the transfer of assets. Unrealized capital gains arising from the contribution are therefore due. However, in certain cases, the transferring company may be exempt from corporation tax on the capital gains. Among the conditions to be met are that the contribution must be made in exchange for shares in the recipient company, that the recipient company must retain the trademark for a minimum period, and so on.
In this case, as in the others mentioned here, we recommend that you seek the advice of a tax expert, who will be able to provide you with useful support in this process.
Transfer of know-how from an individual to a company
As in the above cases, the contribution of know-how by an individual to a company may be made in exchange for securities (shares, etc.). Other forms of remuneration may be provided, depending on the contribution strategy chosen.
Whatever the terms of the contribution, the know-how must be valued professionally and objectively. A valuation by an expert is recommended, who will be responsible for answering the questions of the contribution auditor.
If the know-how is contributed in exchange for shares in the company, this may increase capital. The tax consequences of this will vary depending on the nature of the company and the tax regime applicable to it.
Manufacturing processes, chemical compositions, and certain human skills, among other things, can be considered as know-how.
In most cases, the value of the know-how at the time of contribution is significantly higher than its initial value (when it was created). In such cases, the transfer is subject to capital gains tax. This capital gain is generally taxable.
Here again, we recommend that you consult a tax expert, who will be able to provide you with useful information and, if necessary, assist you with the transfer of the know-how.
Transfer of know-how from one company to another
This type of transfer is usually subject to the tax rules applicable to transfers of assets. The resulting capital gains fall within the scope of current tax regulations.
As with other contributions in kind, it is essential to determine the value of the know-how accurately. A valuation by an expert is necessary to establish this value. He or she will be the competent contact for the contributions auditor.
If the transferring company realizes a capital gain on the transfer of the know-how (i.e. if the value of the know-how exceeds its historical cost), this capital gain may be taxable.
The know-how contribution transaction must be properly documented and formalized, particularly towards the tax authorities.
Certain contributions in kind may be subject to specific tax exemptions. These exemptions are designed to facilitate the reorganization of companies and avoid immediate taxation. A qualified tax advisor will be able to inform you fully about these provisions and, if necessary, assist you with these transactions, for which we recommend that you take the utmost care.
In our capacity as Intellectual Property Attorneys and Innovation Strategy and Development Consultants with Brandon Valorisation, we hope to provide you with useful information for structuring your company’s development, including information on taxation relating to the contribution of intangible assets.
Other intangible assets can be contributed in kind, so don’t hesitate to consult us and ask us to help you realize your development projects through innovation.

HARRISONBURG, Va.-- Thursday marks one of the oldest celebrations marking the end of slavery, but many people are still unaware of it.
It's Juneteenth and it commemorates the abolition of slavery in the united states.
On this day, the last slaves were told they were free after the signing of the emancipation proclamation.
Even though the the day plays significant role in u-s- history, a lot of people say that it should get more attention.
"It's kind of the beginning of why things are the way they are now and why slavery is not right," says Wade Harkins, who is a student, "It definitely seems like something people should know about, or think about and talk about or there should be some kind of recognition for it."
Juneteenth is recognized in 43 states and the District of Columbia.


MaxiCut Ultra Palm Coated Grip Gloves 44-3745
The Maxicut Palm Coated Grip Gloves 44-3745 have been designed and developed as a 360 degree breathable cut-resistant glove. The Palm Coated Grip Gloves combine high levels of cut protection with comfort, flexibility and dexterity for use in dry environments.
Which Size Do I Need?
The MaxiCut Gloves are available in four sizes, so most users should be able to find a good fit. To determine which size will fit your best, measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand open and your fingers together as shown in the image below.
|10 (Extra Large)
What Are the MaxiCut Ultra Gloves For?
These gloves have been specially designed to provide top levels of mechanical resistance while remaining flexible and thin for optimal dexterity. Some industries and environments they are recommended for include:
- Airport Security
- Car mechanics
- Component handling
- Glass handling
- Materials handling
- Chemical processing
Please note that this is not a definitive list. The MaxiCut Ultra Gloves are suitable for most dry condition handling applications, regardless of whether high levels of mechanical protection are required (not including puncture resistance).
How Cut Resistant Are These Gloves?
Featuring a liner made with a combination of glass, nylon and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, the MaxiCut gloves are light and thin yet offer outstanding levels of cut resistance. They achieve the top level of cut resistance according to old EN 388 standards and a mid level of cut resistance according to new standards.
The test for the old rating involved applying a circular blade to the gloves, and measuring how many cycles it would take for the blade to cut through the material. In the new standard, increasing levels of force are applied to the material to see how long it takes for a sharp-edged blade to cut it.
Performing very well in both the old and new tests, these gloves are capable of preventing injuries caused by sharp, hard edges. For example, they can be used when dealing with glass or sharp pieces of sheet metal.
What Applications Are the MaxiFlex Gloves Suitable For?
The MaxiCut Gloves perform well in a wide range of handling tasks, whether or not they involve high level mechanical risks. Tasks they are well suited to include:
- Light handling
- Heavy-duty handling
- Precision handling
- Tactile handling
- Dry handling
- Outdoor handling
- Handling rough and coarse materials
- Handling sharp materials
- Handling smooth materials
- Handling small materials
How Do the MaxiFlex Ultimate Gloves Protect Your Hands?
These gloves offer outstanding protection against mechanical risks. Their resilience can be proven by their EN 388 score, which demonstrates cut, abrasion, tear and puncture resistance. Their broken down EN 388 ratings are listed below:
|Level of Resistance
|ISO Cut Resistance
What Does This Mean?
If you aren't familiar with EN 388 ratings, these numbers may not mean much. The gloves achieve Level 4 which is the highest possible level for both standards. They therefore offer resilient protection against scratches and scrapes and have impressive longevity due to their resistance to such damage.
They also achieve the highest possible level of cut resistance, as well as a reasonably high level of blade cut resistance. This means they can protect users from lacerations during applications involving sharp materials such as glass or sheet metal. Many gloves that are this lightweight do not offer such impressive levels of protection.
How Much Grip Do These Gloves Provide?
The GRIPtech technology of the Ultra gloves utilises a micro-cup finish for a more secure grip. This grooved surface catches against that of lifted object, preventing them from slipping out of the wearer's grasp.
How Much Dexterity Will the MaxiCut Ultra Gloves Provide?
With an ultra-thin design, a close fit and a thickness of only one millimetre, the Ultra Gloves enable great all round hand dexterity. This makes them suitable for the secure handling of both large and small objects.
How Comfortable Are the MaxiCut Ultra Gloves?
Due to the innovative technology used to create these gloves, they are as comfortable as they are protective. They fit snugly around the hand and mimic its natural resting state. Fitted with a flexible partially made from nylon, they don't restrict the hand as it moves, helping to prevent fatigue during strenuous work.
How Much Tactile Sensitivity Do the MaxiCut Gloves Offer?
Using the latest in knitting technology, the fingertips of these gloves have been formed with a smooth texture and a rounded shape. They fit closely over the fingers for a high level of tactility, so users are really able to feel the items they hold. As a result, they have maximum control during handling applications.
How Breathable Are the MaxiCut Ultra Gloves?
To stop hands from becoming uncomfortably warm and sweaty, the gloves feature a 360° breathable design. This helps to promotes air flow so hands don't overheat even during extended periods of wear.
