DVM360.com veterinarian creator Dr. Sarah Wooten bashes the documentary Pet Fooled pointing out shoppers are being ‘fooled’ by way of the movie and ‘fooled’ by way of Dr. Karen Becker and Dr. Barbara Royal. No…it’s Dr. Sarah Wooten that has been fooled (by way of Big Pet Feed).
In a stab at veterinarians Dr. Karen Becker and Dr. Barbara Royal who’re featured within the movie, DVM360’s Dr. Wooten titled her submit “Hey document, have your veterinary purchasers been fooled by way of this document(umentary)?“ No wish to be impolite Dr. Wooten.
Dr. Wooten’s evaluate of the movie said she “found most of this shock-you-mentary jaw droppingly inflammatory and inaccurate.” Let’s have a look at a few issues she calls ‘inaccurate’.
On a Q&A web page Dr. Wooten supplies for veterinarians when shoppers ask questions about the movie, she supplies this conceivable query from a client and suggests veterinarians supply this resolution…
“The movie showed that they put roadkill, euthanized animals and diseased animals in my pet’s food! Is that TRUE?”
That is false. It is now not felony for a dog food corporate to take action.
Oh, Dr. Wooten…now who is being misguided?
Did you pass over the three dog food remembers this 12 months (2017) for presence of pentobarbital in pet food and an FDA document confirming pentobarbital euthanized animal meat used to be within the dog food? Perhaps you didn’t make an effort from your busy day bashing colleagues to substantiate with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture that the beef provider to the recalled dog food used to be in reality an authorized useless animal processor – an organization that eliminates useless animal carcasses together with euthanized animals from farms and processes that subject matter into dog food (however a ‘foolish’ shopper did).
You will have to have overlooked the FDA Compliance insurance policies all over your dog food analysis. There is an entire Compliance Policy phase titled “Veterinary Medicine” at the FDA site that many people ‘foolish’ shoppers have learn; possibly you must be so silly to learn them too. Specific for your inaccuracy, immediately from the FDA site: “Pet food consisting of material from diseased animals or animals which have died otherwise than by slaughter, which is in violation of 402(a)(5) will not ordinarily be actionable, if it is not otherwise in violation of the law. It will be considered fit for animal consumption.”
You are right kind it is unlawful. You are VERY mistaken that it isn’t allowed and occurs persistently in dog food.
Dr. Wooten additionally supplies this query and resolution for veterinarians to provide to shoppers…
“The movie said that chicken byproduct meal is totally rendered and inappropriate nutrition for dogs and cats. What do you think?”
This is now not true. Byproduct meal is in reality very nutritious and a just right protein supply. People even consume byproducts, comparable to kidney pie, sizzling canines, brats and haggas.
Dr. Wooten, do you personal a up to date replica of the AAFCO Official Publication? Have you ever attended an AAFCO assembly? This shopper has a present replica of the AAFCO Official Publication and has attended AAFCO conferences (on behalf of alternative shoppers) for the previous eight years. Please know that the phrase “meal” approach rendered. Every unmarried AAFCO outlined element that comes with the phrase ‘meal’ comprises the phrase ‘rendered’ within the felony definition. If you troubled to be concerned within the regulatory strategy of dog food you’d know that.
If you troubled to be concerned, you can know that the felony definitions of rendered derivative elements in dog food don’t seem to be required to be sourced from human fit for human consumption resources the similar manner as “kidney pie, hot dogs, brats and haggas” is. If you had been knowledgeable, you’d know that each dog food element has it’s personal felony definition that is very other than the counterpart element in human meals. Most puppy meals don’t seem to be meals, maximum puppy meals don’t meet the felony necessities of meals – maximum puppy meals are feed.
And that’s the item…why aren’t you concerned? Why don’t you realize these items? Why don’t you learn the FDA Compliance Policies and stand along with of Dr. Karen Becker and Dr. Barbara Royal and tens of millions of customers advocating for enforcement of legislation? Why bash them immediately to their colleagues when it is you your self that is “jaw droppingly inflammatory and inaccurate”?
Dr. Wooten additionally states (within the first of her two posts bashing Pet Fooled and her colleagues)…
My preliminary concept is if veterinarians way this proper, Pet Fooled may just open up new traces of communique with our purchasers. Because, when it comes all the way down to it, all of us need the meals we’re feeding our pets to be wholesome and protected—so we’re all at the similar workforce.
You must remember – all veterinarians must remember – that buyers don’t consider you while you say ‘we are on the same team’. Not while you don’t know the rules that govern dog food, now not while you don’t know what regulatory government permit in puppy ‘feed’, now not while you as people and your veterinarian associations don’t stand with us to battle the numerous wrongs allowed in puppy feed. Instead, we really feel you’re opting for your allegiance to Big Pet Feed over us.
Here’s a dialog that tens of millions of customers want to have with you Dr. Wooten…Do you suppose it is applicable for puppy feed (categorized as meals) to incorporate “diseased animals and animals that have died otherwise than by slaughter”? If you do…we actually don’t have anything to speak about (didn’t you’re taking an oath?). If now not…then why aren’t you actively combating in contrast? Why are you now not at AAFCO conferences and assembly with FDA to talk publicly towards those allowed, frequently used, but unlawful elements? Why aren’t you instructing veterinarians to those elements and the unlawful use of them in puppy feed (together with prescription puppy feed) on DVM360?
Unless you’re keen to be told what truly is in dog food/feed, what each and every regulatory authority lets in…then it is you that has been fooled. Not us. Not shoppers.
Just in case Dr. Wooten desires to be told extra:
FDA Compliance Policies
FDA Warning Letter to Evanger’s Pet Food
FDA Recall Notices

Should You Allow Your Dog To Play & Chew on Sticks?
Many dog owners have witnessed their dogs carrying a stick during their daily walks. Some dogs chew on the stick, while others would like to take him home. But why is that? Why do dogs seem to love sticks so much? Dogs and puppies love to explore the world around them, and sticks have a lot to offer. Stay with us and find out if this is normal dog behavior or if you should stop it immediately so it won't become a bigger problem.
Why do dogs like sticks?
Currently, there are no correct answers to this question, only guesses. Every dog is different, and while some will not react when it comes to sticks, others will go nuts and lose their mind. Sticks are known to have different textures and smells, and because of that, dogs will love to chew on them. Some owners suggested that sticks remind them of bones; since dogs love bones, so they naturally love sticks.
Can a stick serve as a toy?
For many dogs, sticks will be a great toy they can play with. Since sticks come in different sizes and shapes, you can understand why your dog loves them – it is like he gets a new toy every day.
We witnessed a dog carrying sticks bigger than him, and when we thought about it, the dog could see this stick as a challenge to move around.
Why do dogs carry sticks?
If your dog loves sticks, he will probably try to take some of them home. Dogs look at sticks as a reward and trophies, and because of that, they want to take them home with them. If you own a hunting dog breed, there is no surprise why your dog like to carry sticks. They were bred to retrieve the game, and they could see a stick as a thing they needed to retrieve.
Remember how it all started – most probably, you found the stick and threw it at your puppy. Maybe he didn't like the sticks that much at that time. But when you start throwing sticks for them, they learn that this will create playing time with their owner, and now your puppy connects sticks with play. This could be why your dog likes to carry sticks around – to continue playing later.
Should you allow your dog to carry and chew on sticks?
When it comes to sticks, you should be extra careful. Since they are shaped differently with sharp edges, there is a possibility that your dog will hurt himself. By chewing, the dog could break the stick into smaller pieces that will be small enough for the dog to swallow but big to go through the gastrointestinal tract. This could cause a lot of problems for your dog.
Although chewing could help with tartar removal, if you want your dog to have healthy teeth, your should get him some chew toys since chewing sticks can cause sticks to break and stick between his teeth and cause pain and infection.
RELATED: Why Do Dogs Like to be Petted?
Should I play fetch with a stick?
Again, you should be very careful. Sticks can be very dangerous if you decide to play fetch with them. They could easily break, and sharp edges can hurt a dog's mouth and tongue. If you have already played fetch with your dog using sticks, you most probably sometimes notice blood in the dog's mouth.
Many dogs love to play with sticks, and that is totally fine. You should forbid chewing on the stick since it can cause different health problems for your dog. Allow your dog to carry a stick around, and he will be happy. They will look at sticks as rewards and trophies, and they will want to take home.

Be at Sarratt Cinema tonight at 7:30 for the screening of the award-winning documentary Wasteland. Artist Vik Muniz’s journey from his home in Brooklyn to his native Brazil highlights the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit.
At the world’s largest garbage dump located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, Muniz photographs the “catadores”—pickers of recyclable materials. His collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they re-imagine their lives.
Presented by the Center for Latin American Studies as part of the ILens Film Series at Vamderbilt, the film (English and Portuguese with English subtitles) was directed by Lucy Walker, João Jardim, and Karen Harley in 2010.
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is featuring Vik Muniz: Garbage Matters now through Sunday, September 15, in the Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery. Muniz is celebrated for his photographs of everyday materials, which have been arranged to reveal provocative and delightfully unexpected images when viewed from a distance. These transformative still lifes often relate to social concerns, as seen in the selections from the series Pictures of Junk and Pictures of Garbage on view in this exhibition. Merging high and low cultures, Muniz used castoff materials to recreate such masterpieces as Sandro Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Jacques Louis David’s Death of Marat.
By exploring the relationship between the supposedly timeless beauty of Western art and the grim realities of poverty and waste, Muniz reminds us that great cultural attainments throughout history have often been achieved in environments—–and often as a consequence—–of repression and economic disparity. This does not alter the greater truth of Muniz’s vision: beauty, humanistic values, and spiritual aspiration can be found in the most abject of worlds.
If you can’t attend tonight’s screening of Wasteland at Sarratt Cinema, you have another chance to see it on Friday, September 6, at 7:00 p.m. in the Frist Center Auditorium.

If you are going through a divorce and one of you is mentally ill, you should know that the illness may affect the determination of spousal maintenance; mental illness may affect the sick spouse's ability to do the following:
Ability to Work
Spousal support is not meant to replace regular income: it should supplement it. That is why the receiving spouse's income is also taken into consideration during alimony deliberations. However, your spouse's mental illness may prevent them from working or earning any income. In such a case, the court will be seeking to award your spouse an alimony amount that they can use to take care of themselves without further income.
Ability to Take Care of Themselves
Depending on the degree of illness, your partner's mental illness may also prevent them from being able to take care of themselves. For example, someone who suffers from mental illness may be unable to remind themselves to take their medication, prepare healthy meals, or even perform some household chores safely. In such a case, your spouse may need hired help to assist them in their daily life. If this applies to your spouse's condition, then the amount of alimony they receive would be adjusted to help them pay for the help.
Ability to Afford Health Insurance
Health insurance is always a factor in spousal support; one spouse should not lose their previous health insurance coverage just because of divorce. Therefore, if your mentally ill spouse has been using your health insurance coverage during the marriage, the court is likely to expect the situation to continue after divorce, if your spouse cannot find immediate replacement coverage. If the same health insurance setup cannot continue (maybe it only extends to family members), then the cost of acquiring new coverage may be included in the alimony amount.
Ability to Rehabilitate Themselves Financially
As previously mentioned, alimony is not meant to make one "comfortable" and stop working for themselves. That is why there is rehabilitative alimony, which is meant to help the receiving spouse to get back on their feet, financially speaking. In most cases, this means the alimony payments continue while the paying spouse is furthering their education or starting a business, after which the payments are stopped or reduced. However, if your spouse is mentally ill, it may be difficult or even impossible for them to go back to school or manage a business. In that case, permanent alimony may be awarded.
Whether you are the one who is sick or it's your partner, it's advisable to reveal the illness to your divorce lawyer as soon as possible. Experts in family law and divorce law will know how to use the information to protect your respective rights:

The Wachbataillon beim Bundesministerium der Verteidigung (WachBtl BMVg) (English: Guard battalion at the Ministry of Defence) is the German Bundeswehr's elite drill/governmental unit. It was re-established after the German Independence War on November 21, 2008, and was serving to defend Germany and her allies.
The Wachbataillon is led by its Unit Commander and reports directly to reports the Commander of the Army. The following table shows a list of German Presidents, their Ministers of Defense, the Commander of the Armies, and the Unit Commanders.
|Date||President||Minister of Defense||Commander of the Army||Unit Commander|
|Apr 2009||Starkad Rorlikson||MortenLond||Chicco||Tolo|
|May 2009||Starkad Rorlikson||Chicco||Chicco||Tolo|
The Wachbataillon was reestablished directly after Germany once again became a country as a result of the German Independence War. The Wachbataillon was organized once DKN appointed Isy to be his Minister of Defense and hasn't changed since then. The primary mission of the Wachbataillon is to perform military honours for the German president and the Minister of Defense during state visits or on comparable occasions. The secondary mission is to perform (ceremonial) guard duty at the Ministry of Defense and other high profile public places, to protect and guard the members of the German government and the Ministry of Defense, and to defend the alternate seat of the federal German government.
The Wachbataillon only admits personnel that have a body height ranging from 1.78 meters (5 ft 10.1 in) up to 1.93 meters (6 ft 4 in), normal eyesight and body weight and are generally in good health. Wachbataillon personnel are not allowed to grow beards and/or moustaches. The soldiers of the Wachbataillon are all government officials from all three German forces (i.e. Army, Navy and Air Force) and have the uniforms from all forces at their disposal to be able to perform any drill mission on every occasion.
For reasons of tradition, the Wachbataillon is the only unit of the Bundeswehr still using the Karabiner 98k because the traditional Prussian rifle drills can be executed better with that historical weapon. During normal day duty, the Wachbattalion uses the Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle (supplied by eDeutschland Finance Group) and other weapons like the other units of the Bundeswehr.

Guilty verdict costs Martha £86m
AS if things could not get any worse for Martha Stewart. America's home design doyenne lost $160m (£86m) when her company's value plunged after she was found guilty of lying about a share sale.
Stewart, 62, faces 20 years in prison and a $1m fine after the New York jury's verdict. She was found guilty of obstructing justice and lying to investigators about whether she knew that her friend Sam Waksal, head of drugmaker ImClone Systems, was dumping his shares because regulators had withheld approval for a key cancer drug.
Friday's verdict sparked a run on her company's shares, which fell by 40%. Earlier, they had soared on hopes she would be acquitted. Her $490m stake before the verdict fell to $330m.
Ironically, the court case was over a relatively minor $50,000 investment.
Stewart, who flinched when the verdicts were read, issued a statement saying that she would appeal. 'I have done nothing wrong,' she said.
Sentencing is scheduled for 17 June and legal experts said they expected a minimum sentence of 12 months in prison.

But coming to terms with the end of the series wasn’t just challenging for longtime viewers. Jensen Ackles, who played beloved demon hunter Dean Winchester, had to figure out the next stage of his career — including where he was going to live.
What is Jensen Ackles doing now?
The 42-year-old has spent most of quarantine holed up in his gorgeous Austin, Texas home with wife Danneel and their three kids after production on his new project got delayed. The actor is joining the cast of Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys for Season 3, which will begin filming early next year.
"They're in the midst right now of building my costume for The Boys, which is a custom-built superhero suit," Jensen revealed to Glamour in a recent interview.
"I have to literally be in L.A. every two weeks for the next three months. I think it's six fittings and they're each like three- to four-hour fittings," he explained. "They're literally molding things to my body, so it's intense."
Jensen will once again be shooting in Canada — Supernatural was based in Vancouver — but this time he’s setting up shop in Toronto, where The Boys has been filming since 2018.
The Smallville alum recalled not knowing where he’d land after wrapping Supernatural. "I needed to get back home [to Texas]… and start unpacking my life that's been in Vancouver for 15 years," he shared in October. "Luckily, my wife was like, 'Stop. Can you just take a breath for a minute and play with your kids on the beach?'"
Jensen and Danneel have since started their own production company.
The couple announced their new venture, Chaos Machine Productions, in early October and signed an exclusive, multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Television, which produced Supernatural.
"Warner Bros. has been my home for the better part of two decades. The relationships I have acquired there are some of the finest and most supportive I could have hoped for in this industry," Jensen said at the time.
"Danneel and I are thrilled for the opportunity to continue to grow as artists and now as producers under the mentorship and guidance of Peter Roth and the whole WBTV team."
The former soap star told Glamour that he’s looking forward to working with his wife, who had a recurring role on Supernatural's last three seasons, off-screen. "It'll be more of a producing team as opposed to an on-camera duo," he noted.
"That’s the thing with this industry... you never know where the roads may lead or what’s just around the corner. But she and I love that," he added. "And we certainly love a challenge."
The pair also runs their own Austin brewery called Family Business Beer Company with the help of Danneel’s brother and parents. "We want people to come not just to enjoy the beer, but also enjoy the experience," Jensen shared when it opened in 2018.
It appears this power couple has plenty of projects to keep them busy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST of the "Best of" CDs!,
Ce commentaire est de: Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits (Audio CD)I've got to admit that I'm not a hardcore CARLY SIMON fan. In high school, I did have her LPs "No Secrets" and the one with the song "Anticipation." I still recall all the buzz about who CARLY SIMON was singing about in "You're So Vain." It was also a song that was always on my mind because I would start singing "You're So Vain" in the shower, riding in the car with my parents, in church, etc. I'm not sure why I never purchased her other albums or CD after 1973.
I have, however, been thinking about adding the "No Secrets" CD back into my music collection since I had no CARLY SIMON CDs. I had thought about adding one of her many "Best of" CDs into my collection instead of getting the "No Secrets" CD. My local music shop allows customers to listen to CDs before making a purchase. I wasn't too impressed with her "Best of" CDs. They didn't look complete and the sound quality was bad. Needless to say, I was surprised to see "Reflections." My first thought was "Another 'Best of" CD - WHY?"
I began to listen to it and read the tracks on the CD case. The first thing that impressed me was the sound quality. The sound quality is smooth. The quantity and quality of songs selected for this CD is impressive. Without a doubt, this is the BEST of the "Best of CARLY SIMON" CDs.
If you got to have only one CARLY SIMON CD, this would be it.
5.0 out of 5 stars simply the best; it's all here,
Ce commentaire est de: Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits (Audio CD)I'm 22 years old and I do not really consider myself a Carly Simon fan, but there are songs of hers that I like. I think this is cool because it covers her whole career. I remember first hearing "Coming Around Again" in my younger schooling years and every now and then I was introduced to another of her songs. This covers all of her popular hits, including the one I remember from a long time ago (and I was surprised that this one did not chart on the Hot 100): "The Stuff That Dreams are Made Of". It also appears her later soundtrack songs from "Working Girl" and "Anywhere But Here". You'll be glad you bought this retrospective. I know I am.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great REFLECTION of THE '70s ~'80s and '90s !,
Ce commentaire est de: Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits (Audio CD)During the mid '70s, CARLY SIMON was one a major female pop vocalist on top40 radio. For a moment in time, she was pop royalty married to James Taylor. This compact collection of her classic hits stretches over a diverse 30-year career. The CD highlights 20 of her best. You'll find all of her major hits. The 70s are well represented. "Anticipation", "Your so Vain", "The Right Thing to Do", "Haven't Got Time for the Pain","Mockingbird" plus the controversial #1 song that ignited a debate on payola and radio; "Jesse". You can even hear her James Bond anthem that haunted top 40 radio "Nobody Does it Better". Included on here are her 1980s material such as the Academy Award winning theme for WORKING GIRL "Let the River Run" (composed by SIMON). Unquestionably, more than a few pop fans want to own a summary of CARLY SIMON hits. This CD will fill the void. The one problem with this CD is her 1980s and 1990s material is not as strong nor as interesting as her glorious hit days in the '70s yet it obtains a major portion of the latter part on the disc. Over all, this CD is a greatest hits fans of '70s music should own. If you enjoy pop/rock music then audition this CD from one of the original real pop divas, you'll be amazed at the multi-levels of talent that is CARLY SIMON; crafty songwriter/vocalist.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nobody Does It Better,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits (Audio CD)Finally, an updated single disk greatest hits from one of the premier singer/songwriters of the past 30 years. If you only need one compilation of Carly's music, this is the one to get. The major hits from 70's are here, along with the comeback hits from "Coming Around Again". Choice cuts from her stellar 90's albums "Have You Seen Me Lately" & "Letters Never Sent" round out the set, along with movie favs "Let The River Run" and "Love Of My Life". The only glaring admission - nothing from the recent "Bedroom Tapes" has been included. "Scar" would have been a welcome addition to this collection. But that's a minor quibble
to say the least. All you youngsters who love Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette, etc. - pick up a copy of this CD and listen to where it all started.
5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect,
Ce commentaire est de: Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits (Audio CD)Great CD, capturing Carly's Greatest Hits,
I wish they included Why, a top ten British hit and
Cult Club Classic, and Attitude Dancing, both would have
given the CD a little extra OOOMPH,
Otherwise the CD shows why Carly is a Class Act
5.0 out of 5 stars Great. . .Just the Remastering makes it a "must-have",
Ce commentaire est de: Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits (Audio CD)Even though there are many Carly compilations out (I know, I have most of the them), this CD is a "must-buy" -- the remastering of her great songs makes them come alive even more than on previous releases -- and it's great to be able to walk into the music store and come out with a new Carly CD -- made my day!!

Macromolecules like carbohydrates and proteins are organic molecules that support life. Enzymes are needed to break carbohydrates down into simpler components that can easily be used for energy. However, enzymes are very specific and only react to certain substrates, as shown by part A of this lab, where glucose trinder was exposed to glucose, galactose, mannose, and lactose, but only reacted with glucose. To show how pH can have an effect on enzymatic reactions, lactose was exposed to lactase at different pH 's, the data showed that the reactions occurred more easily at the more neutral pH 's (closer to a pH of 7). Background: Macromolecules are organic molecules that are necessary for life, these molecules include nuclei acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
Osmosis is a process where the solvent molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it reaches equilibrium. These solvent molecules, typically water, move freely. Carbon dioxide is able to move across the cell membrane through a process called simple diffusion. This works in a similar manner, carbon dioxide is able to move freely across the cell membrane from low to high concentration. When oxygen is breathed in, the red blood cells in the lungs have a low concentration of oxygen and a high concentration of carbon dioxide.
This organelle can be found both on the rough ER and free in cytoplasm, but the proteins produced in each place have different functions; proteins produced in the cytoplasm are typically used within the cell while proteins produced by the rough ER are usually exported outside the cell. The ribosomes themselves are produced in nucleolus and cells that need a lot of protein have a lot of ribosomes . With larger diameters than microfilaments, microtubules are stiff organelles that help maintain the cell 's shape as part of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the structure within the cytoplasm of the cell that helps move organelles inside the cell, therefore microtubules are attributed with the function of intracellular movement . In addition to the cytoskeleton, microtubules also make up the cilia and flagella of the cell.
When the vital stain is added into the slide containing water, the process of oxidation will take longer. The vital stain into the cell is colored because it is an oxidizing agent and when it is added into the slide that contains sucrose, it will act as an electron acceptor and therefore becomes reduced and colorless on a faster rate. This process occurs more slowly in the cell that contains water because there is not a great amount of glucose present to be oxidized; therefore, the process of fading the color takes longer. After the experiment is done, it can be stated that the previously raised hypothesis is supported by the results obtained and at the same time the prediction made is supported when the Janus Green stain turned from blue to colorless at a faster rate when glucose was present than the process with
2.7.3 Membrane fluidity Membrane fluidity, or known as the reciprocal of viscosity, was used to describe the extent of disorder and the molecular motion within the lipid bilayer (Cossins, 1994; Murata & Los, 1997). Unsaturated membrane lipids are the major factor that affect the fluidity of membrane lipids (Murata & Los, 1997). A decrease in temperature leads to a decrease in membrane fluidity, which will further trigger the expression of the genes for fatty acid desaturases. These enzymes play a role to introduce double bonds into the fatty acyl chains of membrane lipids to counterbalance the decrease in membrane fluidity. As a result, the physical properties of the membrane can be restored to their optimal state, which will have a balanced maintenance of the ion gradients across the membranes, and the restoration of the functions of membrane associated enzymes.
Its role is to act as a medium in the cell. The cytoplasm has a large amount of organelles also known as little organs. Large protein molecules called enzymes are found in both the cytoplasm and in the organelles. Enzymes carry out many chemical reactions in order to create energy, they also transform raw materials into useful substances, or break down old proteins to be recycled. The cytosol in a cell does more than just suspend the organelles.
The average equivalent mass for the acid is 135g/mol H+. 3. The answer obtained in Question #2 is the equivalent mass of the acid rather than the molar mass because the acid could be polyprotic, which would mean the equivalent mass is different from the molar mass since it is depending on moles of H+ per molecule, and there could be multiple moles of H+ ions in one mole of a molecule. 4. The KHP and the acid samples must be dried, because there would still be extra water which would skew the molarity.
Arsenate wastes energy by the uncoupling phosphotransfer reaction so its very POISONOUS. However, glycolysis still proceeds. Arsenate can then also inhibit the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, blocking the Krebs cycle and therefore resulting in further loss of ATP.
This was controlled by adding a sufficient amount of distilled water to each condition, so the volume stays consistent. The temperature must be controlled because it can affect the rate of reaction, if the temperature increases then the rate of reaction would also increase. To make sure that the temperature is consistent in each condition, this experiment was conducted in one period of time in the same room. Lastly, the size of the beaker needs to be the same because reactions in smaller beakers may occur more quickly than those in bigger beakers because there is more pressure. Therefore, when doing this experiment, the sizes of the beakers were the same.
Firstly, it influences cholesterol’s solubility because of its polarity. Since the hydroxyl group is polar, it allows this portion of the molecule’s structure to be able to dissolve in water, causing cholesterol to be an alcohol. Overall, the molecule is amphiphilic because the hydroxyl group allows cholesterol to be hydrophilic, and the presence of its other structural features causes it to be hydrophobic. Secondly, the hydroxyl group influences cholesterol’s reactivity because it’s what causes the molecule to be very reactive, since the hydrocarbon tail and hydrocarbon rings are not as reactive. Thirdly, the hydroxyl group influences the cholesterol’s physical shape because its presence makes cholesterol a steroid alcohol.

Review by Adam Icculus
After hitting the stage to a thunderous applause Chris Robinson, a native of Marietta, Georgia joked with the Boston crowd about the frigid temperatures (clearly he’s not used to a New England fall) before kicking off the show with a Frank Motley cover of “Try Rock & Roll”. The first set was solid, composed mostly of blues rock tunes, including a few from the Black Crowes song book and an excellent cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Do Right Women, Do Right Man”. The first set closed on a high note with ripping 12+ min version of “Tulsa Yesterday”, which left the crowd buzzing and laid the foundation for what was to come.
After a thirty minute break in which the CRB members hit the tour bus (for whatever Band’s do on tour buses), the second set started and the mood and feel of the band transformed from blues rock to cosmic psychedelic american stoner rock. This was hands down one of the best sets of music I’ve seen all year. I was blown away by the ripping guitar solos and loved CRB’s heavily Grateful Dead-influenced jams. Highlights of the second set were the band’s cover of the Dead’s “West L.A. Fadeaway” and a 15+ min “Rosalee” which closed out the second set.
After a short break the band came back on stage for the encore. Chris thanked the packed Boston crowd and the band finished the night with “Tumbleweed in Eden” and “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” (Bob Dylan).
On the way out of the venue, I heard a lot of people saying that it was one of the best Chris Robinson shows they had seen in years. My thoughts exactly.
If you love blues rock, with some Dead influences and psychedelic jams you should make a point of hitting one of their upcoming shows.

AutoCAD Crack + Product Key
Here, we’ll take a look at what AutoCAD Full Crack does in terms of some common tasks and how its features can be used to streamline your projects.
AutoCAD was originally developed by Ken Ono, a University of Utah physicist, and other University of Utah students for use in analyzing natural-gas well-site data. Ono and some of the students formed Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) and marketed AutoCAD’s predecessor, AutoCADlY, to the petroleum industry as an alternative to more-expensive state-of-the-art CAD software, such as EOS/2 and Aldus.
ESRI began releasing AutoCADlY in the early 1980s. AutoCADlY was a program that ran only on the Mac, and, therefore, was not available on the Windows platform. AutoCADlY was a milestone in the history of CAD software, because it was the first commercially available program to feature a graphical user interface (GUI), as well as a nonlinear numerical scripting language called INDRA.
The emergence of AutoCADlY was one of the watershed moments in the history of the CAD industry. Before the introduction of AutoCADlY, all CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or on minicomputers with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate graphics terminal. CAD was, and still is, expensive. Computers also consumed a lot of power. It was virtually impossible for a single user to visualize the whole design in his or her mind. So, the end-user could only create, edit and analyze a design on a computer, and no one was allowed to print it out until after the work was finished. The first time a CAD operator tried to print something out, the CAD software would crash or the plotter would lock up.
According to Ono, “Aldus [a European CAD company] had a plotter that didn’t want to work. They wanted to sell the plotter and the software, but, of course, they needed someone to buy it. And we were trying to make it happen.” As a result, ESRI set out to develop software that would be easy to use, reasonably priced, stable and scalable. The program they developed was called AutoCADlY, and was released in 1982.
From AutoCADlY to AutoCAD
AutoCADlY made it possible for
The following are file formats that are fully supported by AutoCAD:
Autodesk DWG, DWF, DWF (AutoCAD Architecture), DXF, DXF (AutoCAD Electrical), X3D, X3D (AutoCAD Civil 3D), XDP, XDP (AutoCAD Structural)
These file formats are partially supported by AutoCAD:
STEP, STEP (AutoCAD Structural), DXF (AutoCAD Mechanical), IGES, IGES (AutoCAD Mechanical), IRES, IRES (AutoCAD Electrical), MDB, MDB (AutoCAD Civil 3D), 3DS, 3DS (AutoCAD Structural), STL, STL (AutoCAD Mechanical), 3DV, 3DV (AutoCAD Structural), MPP, MPP (AutoCAD Mechanical), DGN, DGN (AutoCAD Civil 3D)
AutoCAD’s drawing files (DWG, DWF, DXF) can be shared and viewed in other CAD and authoring applications such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Revit, Autodesk 3ds Max, 3ds Max Design, I-DEAS, MagicPlan, Inventor, BuildingSMART, Grand Architect, etc. AutoCAD’s file format is also used as the basis of all of those applications.
In addition, AutoCAD supports the following file formats for importing:
PDF, TAB (AutoCAD Mechanical), MAT, RIB, RXE, SOL
AutoCAD is the only application of its kind capable of reading and writing all these file formats. There is no need to export a model to other applications, only to file formats, as AutoCAD does the conversion automatically. This is because of AutoCAD’s file format and its ability to read and write all file formats.

The use of probes in controlled environments (e.g., a laboratory) for measurement of physical properties of a surface (e.g., resistivity or capacitance) is well known. While for most uses the measurement probe is immobile, in some applications it may be desirable for the probe to move about the measurement area, such as when the area to be measured is inaccessible for direct measurement (e.g., when the measurement area is in an airplane, ship, or other mobile platform).
The use of a movable, handheld measurement probe for measuring surface properties in an inaccessible environment is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,914,631 to Chou et al. (2002). Chou describes a method and apparatus for measuring the surface properties of a structure in a remote location, where the remote location is inaccessible to the remote probes and/or the structure. Chou uses an array of multiple probes to obtain the desired measurement. Each probe is made to move about the remote location, and an automated measurement system is used to detect when a probe has reached a desired position and to obtain a measurement from that probe. The use of multiple probes to measure the structure reduces the amount of time needed to obtain a measurement of the surface properties.
The information obtained from the measurement may be transmitted to a central processing unit for use in the evaluation of the physical properties of the surface. The remote probe may be incorporated into an electrical connector for transmitting the measurement to the central processing unit. The central processing unit may be part of an apparatus to drive the remote probes as a whole or separate from any apparatus for controlling the remote probes, and may be used to control the remote probes without any knowledge of the measurement technique used to obtain the measurement.Q:

Norwalk residents found a World War II-era grenade in their back yard Saturday, prompting authorities to call in the Ashland County bomb squad.
The Norwalk fire and police departments arrived at 11 Old Orchard Loop at 12:20 p.m. Firefighters secured the area with police for citizens' safety and had the bomb squad called to the scene.
"It had a handle on it, indicating it was possibly a training grenade," said Capt. Dan Hunt, of the fire department.
Hunt said first-responders called in the bomb squad because it's possible someone could have swapped out the handle.
Police Sgt. Tom Cook, who was at the scene, said it was a World War II-era, inert training grenade.
"The bomb squad said even with those grenades, they could have some charges. They made the decision to take it to our training range and do a controlled detonation," Cook said.
It's unknown how long the grenade had been buried in the yard.
"They dug it up in their backyard. I think they were digging up the yard to install a patio or to do some landscaping," Hunt said, referring to the residents.
"Before houses were there, it was a field," Cook said about the Old Orchard Loop area. "It's a newer development there."
Members of the bomb squad transported the grenade to the Norwalk reservoir to blow it up.
"It was what they referred to as a pineapple-style grenade. I don't know the age of it," Hunt said.
Firefighters were at the scene about 41 minutes.

Mazda is upgrading its MX-5 sports car to improve the vehicle’s driving dynamics, styling and safety.
The new version of the two-seater Soft Top and Roadster Coupé model goes on sale in the UK later this year.
2012 Mazda MX-5: Styling changes
The new MX-5 will sport a more aggressive front bumper to update the car’s looks, as well as improve aerodynamics and efficiency. The revised sports car will also feature an upgraded interior with new designs for the door cards and seats, as well as an updated steering wheel.
The new MX-5 range will also be available with Mazda’s Dolphin Grey Mica paint colour.
2012 Mazda MX-5: Mechanical improvements
Under the skin Mazda has revised the MX-5’s throttle and brake systems to deliver better response and performance.
The accelerator pedal has been modified on cars equipped with the manual gearbox to give a more linear feel under acceleration, while the vehicle’s brakes have been adjusted for better control when slowing down and when coming off the brakes.
The new MX-5 will be available in Soft Top and Roadster Coupé specification, with the car’s existing 123bhp 1.8-litre and 158bhp 2.0-litre petrol engines. Mazda has not yet confirmed if performance and efficiency will be altered by the upgrades.
2012 Mazda MX-5: Increased safety
The Japanese will introduce its new ‘active bonnet’ on the revised MX-5 – a system that automatically raises the rear of the engine cover in a collision with a pedestrian to cushion the impact. The void under the bonnet allows energy to be absorbed to soften the blow. It’s a design many manufacturers are starting to incorporate, especially as Euro NCAP has stricter rules for pedestrian safety in changes for 2012.

Gambling is a type of risk-taking that involves wagering something of value on an event or game in order to win a prize. It is a popular pastime for many people and can take on many forms, from casino games to sports betting to lottery games. While gambling can be enjoyable for some people, it can also lead to financial and personal problems. These problems can have lasting consequences for gamblers, even after they stop gambling.
Whether you’re a seasoned casino regular, a lotto fanatic or someone who just likes to have a go on the pokies, we all gamble to some degree. However, gambling can be a harmful activity, particularly for those with mental health issues or those who are vulnerable to addiction.
For some, it becomes a serious problem that causes them to lose control of their finances and lives. It can lead to debt, bankruptcies, family breakdown and homelessness. Moreover, it can cause depression and anxiety. For these reasons, it is important to understand the risks associated with gambling and to seek treatment for any underlying mood disorders.
Many people develop a habit of gambling because they find it fun and exciting. This can be due to the adrenaline rush from winning and the sense of achievement that comes with it. In addition, it can be a form of socialisation for those who enjoy meeting other people in the same environment. It can also help them relieve stress and relax.
There are many ways to gamble, from online casinos to land-based casinos and sportsbooks. Each method has its own benefits and drawbacks. Some are more addictive than others, but all of them can have a negative effect on your health. The key to avoiding harm is to only gamble with money that you can afford to lose and never chase your losses.
Gambling can be beneficial for the brain, as it forces you to focus and study patterns, numbers and strategy. It is a good way to keep your mind sharp, and it’s a great alternative to other forms of entertainment such as watching TV or movies. It can also help improve your life in other ways. For example, it can teach you to be more patient and to think strategically.
Various approaches have been used to examine the impacts of gambling on a society and individual level. A cost-benefit approach, similar to that used in alcohol and drug abuse research, is a useful tool for discovering costs, such as those related to gambling and healthcare. However, this method neglects benefits that cannot be equated to monetary values, such as social costs or changes in quality of life measured using disability weights (DW). Another method for investigating gambling impact is the longitudinal study, which involves following a group of people over time to understand the onset and maintenance of their normative or problem gambling behaviour. This is a more precise and cost-efficient method of researching gambling than using cross-sectional data.

After ‘Aladdin: Naam Toh Suna Hoga’, ‘Ishq Subhan Allah
’ and ‘Kahat Hanuman Jai Shri Ram’, there are more replacements happening on our daily soaps. Next in line is ‘Santoshi Maa Sunayein Vrat Kathayein
’, which is all set to introduce a replacement. Seema Mishra
of ‘Madhubala — Ek Ishq Ek Junoon’ is making way for the ‘Bidaai’ actress, Sara Khan
. Sara will play the new Devi Paulomi.
Informs a source associated with the show, “The character of Devi Paulomi will undergo a change in terms of the characteristics, look and feel. It’s a creative decision. Given the new requirements for the character, Sara fits the bill perfectly and hence she has been roped in to play the part.”
Sara, who catapulted to fame as Sadhna in ‘Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai
’, and has featured in several shows like ‘Sasural Simar Ka’, ‘Bhagyalaxmi’, ‘Santoshi Maa’, ‘Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki’, was last seen on the mythological show, ‘Namah’. While she remained unavailable for comment, Seema confirmed the news. Talking about the development, the latter said, “Yes, I am no longer a part of ‘Santoshi Maa Sunayein Vrat Kathayein’. The channel has decided to rope in another actor to play the role.”
The show features Gracy Singh
as Santoshi Mata. It also stars Tanvi Dogra, Ashish Kadian, Sandeep Rajora, Jaya Ojha, Vijay Badlani and Dharti Bhatt among others.


A bowl of oil and a bowl of water have been placed under a heat lamp. The temperature of each was recorded every 5 minutes in the chart below.
Using the data from the chart can you determine which absorbed more heat energy?
Which has the highest specific heat?
If you were to plot the data on a graph using 2 lines (one for water and one for oil) with the Temperature on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis, which line would have the greatest slope (rise over run)?
How is slope related to specific heat?
Temperature (°C) Initial 5 min. 10 min. 15 min. 20 min.
Water 24 28 34 39 45
Oil 24 30 40 51 63
The solution calculates the specific heat of a bowl of water vs a bowl of oil in an experimental context.


The mechanical properties of the Composites are superior to the sum of the properties of its components.
Bulk Molding Compound
Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) is a bulk pre-preg made by combining chopped glass strands, resin (typically polyester), filler, catalyst and other additives. The final mix and homogenization is made in different types of kneeders / mixers. BMC is compacted and packed in styrene tight bags in variable size, fitting all UP injection moulding machines stuffer units. BMC delivers excellent electrical resistance, good mechanical properties and outstanding heat and corrosion resistance. BMC is suitable for several processes, including Compression and Injection Molding. It is used in automotive, electrical & electronics, aerospace and defense applications.
LFT-G (or LGT-P)
In the LFT-G (or LGT-P) process, the resin is heated together with additives to a molten phase and pumped to the die-head. The continuous roving is pulled through dispersion die, ensuring good impregnation of the glass fibers by molten polymer and consolidation into a rod. After cooling, the rod is chopped into reinforced pellets of 12-25 mm length. The end-users can use injection or compression molding to make final parts with well defined properties.
Filament Winding is a process of winding resin impregnated fiberglass (or carbon fiber and other reinforcements) on a mandrel surface in a precise geometric pattern. This is accomplished by rotating the mandrel while a delivery head positions the wet band onto the mandrel surface. Filament winding process is widely applied in manufacturing pipes, tanks, cylinders and other rotating shapes.
In the Continuous Panel process, the resin mix is uniformly deposited onto the moving film at the constant speed. The thickness of the resin is controlled by the draw-knife. The fiberglass roving is chopped, metered and uniformly distributed onto the resin. After chopping, the top film is laid-on forming a sandwich structure. The wet assembly travels through the curing oven before de-molding.
Pultrusion process is used to make continuous, constant cross-section shapes, either solid or hollow shapes. The process involves pulling continuous rovings, mats or fabrics through an impregnation bath, squeeze-out and shaping section and the heated die. Because it takes hundreds of roving packages to make a Pultruded part, creels must be used to store them and guide them efficiently. By use of beck tension and forming tools, the reinforcements are guided precisely into an exact location in the bath and in the final part. The excess resin is gradually squeezed out before entering the curing die. The final shape is formed under high temperature and high pressure (created by packing resistance and heat expansion) conditions, making it virtually void free. Low voids are critical for Electrical parts. Because of the high reinforcement loading, the resulting parts can have very high mechanical strength and modulus, in the zero degree direction. This makes Pultruded shapes excellent structural members (I-beams, angles and T-sections) used in gratings and large structures. Variations of Pultrusion process included: pull-forming, using UV or Radiation curing and simple coating die production of strength members.
Hand Lay-up is an open molding process. The reinforcement, in form of fiberglass strands, mat, or woven roving, is first laid into a mold which has been coated with a release agent and a gel coat. Then a resin mix is applied by hand, using a brush or spray gun. A roller is then used to ensure uniform impregnation, complete wet-out and removal of any trapped air bubbles.
At the heart of the Spray-Up process is the spray or chopper gun, which simultaneously and uniformly chops the assembled roving, mixes it with the resin, containing initiator, accelerator, filler, pigment and other additives, and directs the mixed stream onto an open mold. The roving is chopped into a specific length. Compaction, wet-out and air-release are accomplished, using a roller as in the Hand Lay-Up process. One good appearance side is possible with this process. The material selection is important. The resin should be easy to atomize. The fiberglass roving should be of moderate stiffness, easy to chop, with good static and ribbon control, ensuring efficient processing.
Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastics(GMT)
GMT (Glass Mat Thermoplastic) is a multi-step process. First, a needled mat is used or a mat is formed in-situ by chopping assembled roving. Then, one or two layers of reinforcing mat are sandwiched between two or three sheets of polypropylene. This sandwich is then heated and consolidates into a semi-finished sheet product. The GMT sheets are then heated and molded using stamping or compression process to make complex finished parts.
Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is a closed mold process which is used to make complex shapes. In this process, liquid resin is injected into a closed mold cavity which contains pre-placed reinforcement. The resin flows through the reinforcement, such as fiberglass mats, preforms or fabrics, impregnating and wetting it out. The composite material is cured under a low pressure and RT or moderate heat to form the final part.
Extrusion and Injection
There are two steps in extrusion-injection process. Step one is “extrusion”: mixing the thermoplastic resin with glass fiber in an extruder, thus forming reinforced thermoplastic pellets. Step two is “injection”: converting the reinforced thermoplastic pellets into different parts using an injection molding machine. The advantages of the extrusion compounding process lie in its low cost conversion, due to high efficiency screw design, and versatile formulation possibilities.

If the 89th Academy Awards broadcast had itself been a film, its sequence of false climax, denouement, eleventh-hour plot reversal, and actual climax would have been written off by critics not just as unlikely, but as wildly unbelievable. And yet there was Fred Berger—a producer of La La Land, which had been announced as the 2016 Best Picture, and for which he and two other producers had just given acceptance speeches—suddenly telling the star-studded audience at the Dolby Theatre and tens of millions of viewers around the world, “We lost, by the way, but, you know...” He offered a shrug, at which point another La La Land producer, Jordan Horowitz, returned to the microphone to inform everybody watching, “Guys, guys, I'm sorry. No. There’s a mistake.” Then, pointing out from the stage toward writer-director Barry Jenkins and his colleagues, he said, “Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture”—which, as it turns out, they had.
So what happened? My brilliant wife, Karen, immediately believed that award presenter Warren Beatty had opened the wrong envelope. I suggested that perhaps he had unsealed the proper envelope, but that it had been loaded with incorrect information. As so often occurs, Karen was right. Three hours after the Oscars had concluded, PricewaterhouseCoopers—the accounting firm responsible for tabulating the award voting—issued a statement. “We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture. The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred. We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.”
As a cinephile and a long-time Academy Awards viewer, I found the incident initially unsettling, and then tremendously awkward. The error didn’t occur when handing out a Best Sound Mixing trophy, but the one for Best Picture. (And I mean no disrespect to sound mixers. Kevin O’Connell did a marvelous job on Hacksaw Ridge, for which he earned his 21st Oscar nomination and his first, obviously overdue award.) Mistakes happen all the time—I make plenty of them—but I felt sympathy for the producers and casts of both films. The team of one movie discovered during their moment of elation that they had not actually won the most coveted of Oscars, while the team of another had been deprived of that joyous instant when they learned of their own victory. The producers of Moonlight did discover that their film had won Best Picture, of course, but in a period of confusion, rather than by way of a powerful announcement. No, it’s not the end of the world, and nobody lost a limb or had to be admitted to the hospital, but I felt bad for the people involved—including the presenters, the stage managers, and the accountants. At the end of the night, the creative forces behind La La Land still managed to take home six golden statuettes, while those driving Moonlight garnered three, included Best Pic. Still, the ceremony, which had hummed along to that point under the robust stewardship of first-time host Jimmy Kimmel, could have had a smoother finish. (Or perhaps M. Night Shyamalan wrote the ending...)
Unfortunately, the broadcast featured another blunder. During the In Memoriam segment, when the Academy recognized contributors to the film industry who passed away in the previous year, they paid tribute to Janet Patterson. A costume designer, Ms. Patterson died in October. Unfortunately, the image shown along with her name was that of still-living producer Jan Chapman. Again, mistakes happen, but it must have been particularly saddening for Ms. Patterson’s family and friends—not to mention unnerving for the people who know Ms. Chapman.
Nevertheless, despite those two missteps—the latter of which I only learned about after the show had ended—I enjoyed the ceremony. The set designers did a wonderful job with their glittering proscenium and their oft-changing backdrops. Justin Timberlake opened the festivities on an optimistic note, with a traveling, dancing, and overall rousing performance of his Best Song entry, “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” from Trolls. The singers of the other nominated original songs also delivered beautiful renditions, always accompanied by entertaining dancers. And despite the stumble with the incorrect image of Janet Patterson, the In Memoriam segment provided lovely remembrances of those in the film industry lost last year, with pictures and clips accompanied by Sara Bareilles’s moving version of Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now.” Jimmy Kimmel proved a very good host, demonstrating an ease onstage and an affable delivery that helped him land almost all of his jokes. He occasionally delved into political territory, always with the facts on his side and usually with a solidly funny punchline. Throughout the night, many of the award winners and presenters made reference to the governmental troubles currently afflicting the United States, but often with an understated dignity and an eye toward the positive—focusing on the principles of inclusiveness and diversity, and championing the value of both truth and creativity. If we could all embrace those virtues, we’d all be winners—the casts and crews of Moonlight and La La Land, along with the rest of us.

After a week in the apartment, it is always enjoyable to get back out again, even in mid-summer. As usual, it is back to the Pivots and in the gate by 6:30am.
As before, I headed to the marsh to walk the small soggy area adjacent to the bigger pool, finding an early Black-headed Wagtail
|Black-headed Wagtail (Motacilla f. feldegg)|
At the marsh, the Black-winged Stilt's were already airborne and vocal
|Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus)|
Accompanied by the White-tailed Lapwing's
|White-tailed Lapwing (Vanellus leucurus)|
and not too long after, the Red-wattled
|Red-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus)|
A White-winged Tern was briefly seen as it flew from one pool to another and then disappeared to forage over the fields
|White-winged Tern (Chlidonias leucopterus)|
I checked the arid patch of the farm and as expected found quite a number of Cream-coloured Coursers
|Cream-coloured Courser (Cursorius cursor)|
And in their usual area, many Black-crowned Sparrow-Larks. This male was quite cool with his raised crest.
|Black-crowned Sparrow-Lark (Eremopterix nigriceps)|
Not far from the Larks, there is another smaller pool and this had a good few Little Ringed Plovers
|Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius leschenaultii)|
Whilst watching the pool, I managed to catch this juvenile Namaqua Dove as it shot past
|Namaqua Dove (Oena capensis)|
Out on the southern boundary fence, last weeks Guineafowl was still present and looking lost
|Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris)|
Whilst at the marsh earlier in the morning, I had caught a brief glimpse of a Skipper butterfly, so went back and put in some effort to try and re-find it. I was pleased that I did, as it turned out to be a new species for Kuwait - Pygmy Skipper or Dark Hottentot. Thanks to Steve Collins for confirming the ID.
|Pygmy Skipper (Gegenes p. pumilio)|
In the same area, there were also a few Damselflies. I suspect this is Evan's
|Evan's Bluetail (Ischnura evans)|
and a few unknown Grasshoppers
So, a great morning overall - especially with the new discovery!

In the crucial year before 2014 polls, around 50 lakh central government employees and 30 lakh pensioners are expected to get 8% dearness allowance (DA), highest in the last couple of years. The increase in the allowance is expected to cost the government around 5,200 crore and it would mean that dearness allowance would be 80 per cent of the basic pay. The last increase in dearness allowance was in September was 7% preceded by a 6% increase. The proposal has wider ramifications as the state governments normally adopt the Central increase in dearness allowance for its employees. As per the practice, the DA is merged with basic pay when it breaches the 50 per cent cap. This helps employees get higher allowances as those are paid as proportion of the basic pay.
